Plate
In the second half of the nineteenth-century, highly skilled amateur and professional china painters produced an eclectic array of decoration on imported and domestic porcelain blanks. The artist who painted this pre-fired Haviland plate accentuated its delicately ruffled edges with gold enamel and a stylized border of lily pads thinly outlined in black. This plate is an excellent example of the Art Nouveau decoration popular in the last decade of the nineteenth century and the first decade of the twentieth.
