Description
This lovely and rare Majolica plate depicts geranium blossoms, leaves, and stems in white bas-relief over a hand-painted turquoise field. The scalloped rim is outlined in fuchsia and white. The plate was made in a mold for the bas-relief effect and then painted with the accent colors. The English maker is unidentified.
