The decorative plate features stunning calla lilies with green leaves on the right-hand side of the plate. There is also a soft caramel hue that appears on about half of the plate with a more heavy focus on the side where the calla lilies have been carefully placed.

It’s no surprise that the name calla lily comes from a Greek word for beauty. There’s more to their significance, though than just a stunning appearance.

During the Victorian period in the 19th century, there was a flower language boom that meant certain flowers were associated with expressing particular feelings. That means that sending someone a bouquet delivered a very specific message based on the flowers’ meaning. There was no need for words – the recipient could decipher the intended message merely by the blossoms chosen and the way they were arranged. The calla lily plays a role in the Christian Easter service as a symbol of Jesus’ resurrection. In many paintings and other works of art throughout history, the calla lily has been depicted with the Virgin Mary or Angel of Annunciation. For this reason, it has been associated with holiness, faith, and purity. Additionally, as the cone-line flowers blossom in spring, they have become symbols of youth and rebirth.

The item number is Y06020-L as detailed on the box. Appears to have been manufactured in the early 2000s, but can easily be used in any setting with a more vintage flair. Can easily fit into a Regency or 1980s inspired decor. See less
