Comments

The edge of the rim of this oval platter has a band of a stylized burnt orange vine interwoven with a black-dot band and above another band of black dots.  A second, narrow burnt orange band encircles the inside edge of the rim.  A floral spray of purple and blue flowers and green leaves decorates the center bottom.  The underside of the platter is unglazed.
