Platter

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

White ceramic platter with an octagonal shape and scalloped edges. The platter has a thick, gold-colored border around its edge. Inside the border, there are floral designs in pink, purple, green, and gold. A second, thinner gold border surrounds a central crest. The crest features a bird perched on top and is surrounded by floral designs. The crest itself consists of a shield divided into sections with stars and flowers. The platter, titled "Platter", is by an unknown artist. The background of the image is gray.
