Front Design:
• Central Motif: Each plate features a large, vibrant lemon surrounded by detailed green leaves. The lemon is painted with a stippled effect to give it a textured, almost lifelike appearance.
• Border: The rim of each plate has a scalloped, almost lace-like edge with embossed detailing and hand-painted burgundy accents along the border.
• Additional Elements: Small lemon and leaf motifs are spaced around the edge, reinforcing the lemon theme.
• Color Palette: Dominated by green and yellow tones, with earthy brown and burgundy touches for accent—evoking a warm, Mediterranean feel.

Back of Plate:
• Markings: The back of one plate is marked with:

K·B· ITALY
N·Y

This suggests that the design was possibly distributed or retailed in New York but manufactured in Italy.

• Plate Hangers: Spring-loaded wire plate hangers are attached to the backs, indicating they were used as wall decor rather than for dining.

These plates are decorative collectibles, possibly vintage Italian majolica. The lemon motif and hand-painted detailing make them perfect for a rustic kitchen, summer dining display, or Mediterranean-style decor. See less
