Platter

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

White porcelain platter with a gold border. The platter features an oval shape within its octagonal form. The oval contains gold rope-like design. The center contains what appears to be a crest or coat-of-arms consisting of three black stars on a white and black field surrounded by a floral design with pink, blue, gold, orange, green and purple. The crest is topped with what appears to be a crow or raven. The remainder of the white surface features six clusters of pink flowers with green leaves. The title of the piece is "Platter" by an unknown artist.
