DescriptionAn off-white plate with a dark navy edge and a floral design painted in its center. Eight small geometric designs are painted around the edge in dark navy. Each one lines up with a small scallop cut in the edge. The design in the center features a large dark navy and red flower. A narrow leaf-shaped flower with two leaves each lies on either side. The flowers surround two birds painted in red and gold. Two small hearts are painted beneath the flower and a larger one is at the bottom of the design. There is a large gold circle on either side of the heart. Light and dark green stems and leaves fill the rest of the design and tie it all together.
