The rims show a floral garland cold-painted in bright yellow and black. The mold has a basketweave rim and the center shows pleating. Each plate is signed by the artist. Measures: 10 in. diameter x 1 in. height A hand painted Sceaux mark over an indecipherable impressed mark. Showing the light wear associated with faïence. One plate shows a shallow sliver on the rim.
