Edwardian Style Decorative Plate with Portrait of a Woman

This is a decorative ceramic plate featuring a central portrait of a woman, likely dating to the late 19th or early 20th century, consistent with the Edwardian or Art Nouveau periods. The plate is circular with a scalloped edge around the rim. The primary colors of the plate are a rich, deep red or burgundy around the outer rim, transitioning gently to a lighter, creamy yellow or beige towards the center, creating a halo effect around the portrait. The woman depicted has an elaborate hairstyle adorned with red roses and what appear to be strands of pearls or beads cascading from her hair. She is wearing a pearl necklace and a low-cut gown, possibly with pearl detailing on the bodice. Her profile faces to the right, exhibiting a delicate and refined expression. The painting style appears to be a transfer print embellished with hand-painting details, particularly noticeable in the pearls and roses, which show some dimensionality. While the overall condition appears good from the visible image, a closer inspection would be needed to identify any crazing, chips, cracks, or wear to the painted surface, particularly around the edges or where cutlery might have made contact if it were used for serving. The craftsmanship seems of reasonable quality, typical of decorative ceramics from its era, designed for display rather than heavy use. The lack of visible maker's marks on the front prevents further identification of its origin or manufacturer.
