Plate

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Round white plate with wide rim. The rim has a pattern of eight pointed shapes with rounded ends. The pointed shapes alternate between a background of small circles and a floral pattern. The floral pattern on the rim includes peaches and white flowers. The center of the plate has a large peony flower surrounded by leaves and branches. A small illegible number is printed on the plate near the top. A ruler is placed horizontally on a surface below the plate. The wall behind the plate fades from light to dark gray. A small white label on the surface below the plate reads "THE METROPOLITAN MUSEUM OF ART". The plate is titled "Plate" and created by an unknown artist.
