Anna Jane Landis Hand-Painted Porcelain Collector Plate

This is a circular porcelain or fine bone china decorative plate, approximately 6 to 8 inches in diameter, featuring a delicate hand-painted nature scene. The central motif depicts a Ruby-throated hummingbird in flight, approaching a cluster of vibrant blue morning glory flowers with green foliage and slender tendrils. The artwork is executed in a folk-art or realistic botanical style with soft, blended pastel tones in the background, including hints of pink and pale yellow. The plate's rim is finished with a thin, elegant gold-gilt band. A significant distinguishing feature is the artist's signature, "Anna Jane Landis," clearly visible in cursive script near the bottom of the central vine. The overall craftsmanship suggests a mid-to-late 20th-century origin, likely a piece of studio pottery or a high-quality hobbyist decorative item. The condition appears to be excellent with no visible chips, cracks, or crazing. There is minor light reflection on the right side of the plate, but the paint and gold trim appear well-preserved without significant wear or fading, indicating it was likely used for display purposes rather than service.
