The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a Soup Plate by Wistar. The plate is white ceramic with an irregular octagonal shape. The plate's edge is rimmed with a thin gold line and contains a floral pattern. Inside this rim, there is a thicker gold rope-like line forming a circle. The center of the plate features a crest with a shield adorned with three stars on a black background and three dots on a white background. The crest is surrounded by floral designs and a bird perches on top. The plate sits on a gray background.
