Plate

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The plate is round and shallow. The plate's background color is off-white. A floral design in the center features a blue flower with orange and yellow accents, surrounded by orange flowers with green leaves. The rim of the plate has a repeating pattern of orange roses with green leaves on a blue and orange background. The plate has a thin black line around the edge, and a thicker gold line underneath. The plate appears to be sitting on a gray surface with a slight shadow underneath.
