Gold-Rimmed Floral Dinner Plate

The item is a round dinner plate, likely made of ceramic or porcelain, featuring a central white field and a wide, ornate gold-colored rim. The rim is extensively decorated with a fine, intricate, and somewhat abstract floral or foliate pattern, which appears to be printed or etched onto the surface, giving it a tactile texture or a crackled, crazed appearance in some areas. The gold color of the rim exhibits some variations in tone, suggesting a metallic finish that may have started to show patina or wear, giving it an aged look. There are small dark specks visible on the white central portion, possibly indicating dirt or minor surface imperfections. The overall craftsmanship appears to be of good quality, with the decorative pattern evenly applied. The style suggests it could be from the mid-20th century, possibly the 1950s or 1960s, a period known for opulent and gold-accented dinnerware designs. No specific maker's marks or signatures are visible in the provided images, which would typically be on the underside of the plate. The plate's condition appears fair, with the main concern being some potential wear on the gold finish and the visible dirt on the white surface. The size is consistent with a standard dinner or luncheon plate. The design emphasizes decorative elegance, characteristic of formal or semi-formal dining sets.
