Green Ceramic Early 20th Century Wall Plate Attributed to Alka

About the Item

This rather eccentric early 20th Century wall plate has a fine matte glaze. At first sight it looks innocent and geometric, but upon further 'research' is becomes clear what the artist wants to show us. On the floor of this green ceramic plate you can see a slightly darker green ring... the ovum. From the outer rim on there are dozens of sperm cells in a very dark green relief competing with each other to reach the lower center, with conception as a result. To your mother in law, grandchildren or business relations you may explain this work as a plate with tadpoles. The plate is signed on the back with a five-armed crown in relief which could indicate ALKA, Alboth & Kaiser.
