The garland surrounds a central floral spray of a blue flower and green leaves. The reticulate edge is glazed in a yellow ochre fading to a pale green, and outlined in a burnt Sienna. The Cantagalli family operated their pottery works in Florence beginning in the 15th Century until the pottery closed its doors in 1985. 8.5 in. Diameter x .75 in. H Marked with the painted Rooster logo – some plates showing mold numbers as well.
