Embossed Floral Decorative Plate

This is a decorative ceramic or porcelain plate, approximately 8-10 inches in diameter, featuring an embossed or relief design. The center of the plate is adorned with a textured, wavy pattern in a deep blue, possibly representing water or a stylized sky. Encircling this blue center is a band of three-dimensional floral motifs. There are six prominent flowers, appearing in shades of pink, purple, and orange/yellow, accompanied by vibrant green leaves and some smaller buds. The flowers and leaves seem to be hand-painted with glazes, providing depth and individual shading to each petal and leaf. The edge of the plate is irregularly shaped, with gentle undulations and a slightly scalloped appearance, characteristic of some art pottery or a more organic design. The base color of the plate's rim is a creamy white or off-white, offering a soft contrast to the colorful central design. While no maker's marks are visible, the raised elements suggest a molded construction, followed by intricate hand-finishing and painting. The overall condition appears good, with no obvious chips, cracks, or significant wear visible from this angle, though minor crazing or surface scratches typical of age may be present upon closer inspection. The craftsmanship indicates a piece designed for ornamental display rather than utilitarian use, likely dating from the mid-20th century, consistent with a vintage aesthetic.
