About this work

This is a round dish with two handles. The inside is green and white with a swirl pattern. There are red flowers and dots around the edge. The swirls look like a repeating line, almost like a snake eating its tail. The colors are bright but faded, like old paint. Look up meander next—it’s the name for this kind of repeating pattern.
