The Cellar Whiteware Square Dinner Plate

This item is an 11 x 11 inch square dinner plate, identified as 'The Cellar Whiteware dinner plate'. It is constructed from ceramic, likely porcelain or stoneware, given its bright white color and glossy finish. The plate features a modern design with gently rounded corners, deviating from a traditional circular or sharply angled square form. The edges are subtly curved upwards, forming a shallow lip or rim that transitions smoothly into the flat central eating surface. There are no apparent decorative patterns, decals, or embossed designs, emphasizing a minimalist aesthetic. The color is a consistent, clean white, often referred to as whiteware, which makes it versatile for various table settings and suitable for both casual and more formal dining. Observable condition issues appear minimal from the provided image; the surface exhibits a uniform sheen without obvious chips, cracks, or heavy scratching. Minor surface scuffs or utensil marks might be present upon closer inspection, but are not visible here. No maker's marks, signatures, or stamps are discernible in the provided view, suggesting such markings would be on the underside of the plate. Based on its contemporary design and the 'Whiteware' designation, it likely dates from the late 20th to early 21st century. The craftsmanship appears to be commercially produced, with good consistency in form and finish, indicating a standard quality expected from a department store brand like The Cellar.
