About this work

This dish looks like a scallop shell with scalloped edges. The outside is white with blue, green, and brown painted flowers and leaves. The center has a round design with a split shape, like two halves of a circle, filled with more flowers and leaves in bright colors. The blue dots along the edges might be berries or small flowers. It’s a type of decorative plate often used in everyday life, not just for art. Look up Baroque to see how this style used bold shapes and bright colors in everyday objects.
