Rose Plate Appraisal

Hand-Painted Wild Rose Ceramic Plate on Green Glass Dish

The item prominently featured is a decorative porcelain or ceramic plate, likely hand-painted, displaying a cluster of pink wild roses with their associated green leaves and thorny stems. The background of the painting transitions from a lighter, almost white or very pale green at the top to a deeper, more saturated green towards the bottom, suggesting a naturalistic landscape or gradient. The plate itself is oval-shaped, with a gently scalloped or undulating rim. It appears to rest on a deeper, hexagonal or octagonal dish or bowl which is a translucent, possibly uranium or depression-era green glass, with a distinct gold-colored rim or base. This suggests the plate might be part of a larger serving set or a display piece intended to be paired with other decorative elements. The gold accent appears to be a metallic paint or gilting. The overall condition of the plate and the underlying green glass piece appears good, with no immediately visible chips, cracks, or significant wear to the painted surface, indicating good preservation. This vibrant floral motif, often seen in late 19th to early 20th-century decorative arts, hints at an Edwardian or Art Nouveau influence, emphasizing natural forms. The craftsmanship of the painting suggests a skilled hand, with delicate brushwork and subtle shading that gives the roses depth. No discernible maker's marks or signatures are visible in the provided image.
