Description
Basketweave moulding and three floral panels surround the plain centre of this Dubí Blue Onion porcelain plate.
Blue lines pick out the interlaced border, while botanical motifs occupy cartouches spaced around the scalloped rim. The underside carries the crowned D mark with Czechoslovakia, Original Zwiebelmuster and 1864 wording. The crowned D supports the Dubí factory identification; the printed 1864 forms part of the factory mark and is not presented as this plate's production date. The blue backstamp complements the blue decoration on the face, while the underside shows the circular foot supporting the plate. Unlike Blue Onion plates with a large botanical spray in the centre, this example places its decoration mainly at the edge. That arrangement leaves a broad white well and makes the moulded basketweave especially prominent. Related pieces appear in Tea and Coffee Table and Blues and Whites.
