This antique plate features softly shaded white and blush tulips with fresh green foliage, surrounded by a geometric Art Nouveau border detailed in black, jade, rose, and gold. Each petal and line has been meticulously painted by hand, with raised enamel accents that create a subtle, tactile texture — almost like braille — adding depth and craftsmanship to the surface.

Marked “Hand Painted Nippon” on the reverse, this piece predates Japan’s “Made in Japan” export mark (adopted in 1921) and represents the peak of early 20th-century Japanese porcelain quality.

The plate’s romantic floral design and refined color palette make it ideal for display on a stand, in a glass cabinet, or as part of a curated wall grouping. A timeless choice for collectors of Nippon porcelain, Japanese export ware, and Art Nouveau decorative arts.
