Soup Plate

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a white Soup Plate by artist Herend, depicting a crest; it has a gold rim and floral design. The plate is white with a gold rope-like border around the edge and another one around the center. The plate's rim features a floral design with pink, purple, and blue flowers; a bird perches atop a crest in the center, which has a black and white shield with three stars and is surrounded by flowers and foliage. The plate sits on a gray background, casting a slight shadow underneath.
