A beautifully moulded vintage square ceramic plate finished in a rich green glaze, featuring an arrangement of raised acanthus leaves and central budding motifs along each side. The glaze deepens toward the relief edges, creating natural shading that accentuates the intricate detailing.
Its size and form make it ideal as a trinket dish, small serving plate, or display accent — equally striking on a vanity, console, or curated shelf.
Style it with the Cabbage Ware Creamer, the S.J. Spink Fluted Vase, or the Green Aventurine Grapes
