Daisy Motif Plate Appraisal

Hand-Painted Floral Ceramic Plate with Daisy Motif

The item is a small, circular ceramic plate, likely a saucer, side plate, or decorative wall plate, featuring a hand-painted floral design. Its primary color is a light, creamy yellow or off-white, with a subtle gradient of a slightly darker, warmer beige or light brown towards the bottom and right edges of the visible surface. The plate is adorned with multiple yellow daisy-like flowers with brown or dark yellow centers, arranged in a naturalistic cluster. Green stems and slender leaves emanate from and connect the flowers, creating a sense of organic growth. The painting style appears to be art nouveau or arts and crafts inspired, characterized by flowing lines and nature motifs, suggesting an estimated age from the late 19th to early 20th century. The rim of the plate features a thin, possibly gilded or painted gold-colored band, which appears slightly worn in areas, indicating use or age. There are no clear visible manufacturer's marks, signatures, or stamps in the provided image. The surface exhibits a slight sheen, suggesting a glazed finish. Visible condition issues include what appears to be minor crazing, fine crackling in the glaze, particularly noticeable in the upper region of the plate, and some very minor discoloration or scuffing on the surface. These appear to be consistent with age and typical wear for a ceramic item of this type. The craftsmanship suggests a piece made with reasonable attention to detail, likely intended for everyday use or as a decorative accent.
