Comments

This molded saucer has a pink luster decorated rim that features a meandering white line dividing the field into complex random shapes.  Unlike the hand-painted central floral motif and hand-painted bands, this border must have been transfer-printed.  The central motif displays a red and yellow flower and a sprig of deep purple berries and flowers with broad green leaves.
