Featuring a delicate cream base, scalloped edge, and gold trim, this piece is adorned with four vivid floral sprays and a striking black scrollwork border—an ornate yet balanced design that evokes wartime resilience and domestic grace.

Made during WWII, this plate reflects the era’s shift toward lighter, more elegant dinnerware. The “Eggshell” designation refers to its fine, translucent porcelain—designed to elevate everyday meals with a touch of refinement. The backstamp code M 42 N 8 confirms its August 1942 origin. See less
