Botanical Decorative Plate with Prunus domestica (Plum)

This is a decorative ceramic or porcelain plate, likely a dessert or side plate, featuring a botanical illustration. The plate has a circular form with a slightly raised rim. The central well of the plate is white, providing a crisp background for the botanical motif. Painted on the white background is a detailed depiction of a branch with several dark purple plums and green leaves, consistent with the botanical illustration style. Below the illustration, the Latin scientific name "Prunus domestica" is printed in an elegant serif font, identifying the common plum. The rim of the plate is a solid, muted periwinkle-blue color. This blue rim is bordered on both its inner and outer edges by a thin band of black or very dark green, which is further embellished with small, regularly spaced gold-colored dots, adding a touch of elegance and refinement. The overall design suggests a classical or historical botanical aesthetic. The plate appears to be in excellent condition, with no visible chips, cracks, or significant wear to the glaze or painted design. The colors are vibrant and well-preserved. While no manufacturer's marks are visible in the provided image, the quality of the illustration and the detailed border suggest it could be from a reputable ceramics company, possibly from the late 20th or early 21st century, often part of a series showcasing different botanical specimens.
