Soup Plate

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Soup Plate, Thomas Minton. The image shows a round, white plate with a wide rim. The plate has a design in the center depicting a landscape with trees and a road with people. There are two inner decorative borders on the plate; the inner one features designs resembling foliage or possibly abstract shapes, and the outer one seems to depict a sequence of curved elements or shapes similar to a leaf or a horn. The photograph of the plate is in black and white. The plate appears to be positioned against a white background.
