Farmhouse Rural Landscape Dinner Plate

This item is a circular dinner plate featuring a vibrant and detailed rural or farmhouse landscape illustration around its wide rim. The central portion of the plate, approximately two-thirds of its diameter, is a plain, unadorned white or off-white ceramic surface, indicating its primary function for serving food. The decorative border, approximately 2-3 inches wide, depicts a continuous scene of rolling green hills, autumnal trees with orange and brown foliage, various farm animals such as cows and possibly chickens, small white farmhouses or cottages with gray roofs, and red barns. There are also winding roads or paths, some with visible fences. The color palette is rich and earthy, dominated by shades of green, brown, orange, and blue (for the sky). The design appears to be transfer-printed or hand-painted with a somewhat naive or folk-art aesthetic, lacking the stark precision of mass-produced decals. The plate's material is likely ceramic or porcelain, given its smooth, glossy finish. No visible chips, cracks, or significant wear are discernible from the image, suggesting good overall condition. The style points to a decorative or everyday use item from the late 20th or early 21st century, possibly a collectible dinnerware piece. There are no visible maker's marks or signatures in the provided view, which would typically be on the underside.
