Eames Era Plate Appraisal

Mid-Century Modern Dinner Plate with Floral Motif

This is a circular dinner plate featuring a distinctive mid-century modern design. The plate has a two-tone color scheme, with the central eating surface being a glossy white and the generous rim rendered in a solid, muted blue-green or teal color. The blue-green rim is separated from the white center by a thin silver or platinum band, which also traces the outer edge of the plate, adding a refined touch. In the center of the white area, there is a stylized floral motif. This motif consists of delicate, intertwining dark brown or black branches and leaves, from which small, light blue flowers with multiple petals bloom. The arrangement of the floral design resembles a bursting bouquet or a stylized organic spray, oriented somewhat asymmetrically within the central white space. The material appears to be ceramic or porcelain, typical for dinnerware of its presumed era. The surface is smooth and reflective, indicating a well-glazed finish. No significant chips, cracks, or heavy scratching are visible from the provided image, suggesting good to excellent overall condition. The silver banding appears intact, without obvious signs of wear or loss of metallic sheen. The aesthetic points to a design period from the 1950s to 1970s, characterized by clean lines, organic patterns, and often contrasting colors. The quality of the glaze and the precision of the overglaze decal/print suggest a well-manufactured item, possibly part of a larger dinnerware set.
