Crafted in glazed ceramic, the plate features a richly sculptural floral design with raised roses, leafy garlands, and a dramatic ribbon bow at the top, all set against a softly textured ivory ground. The ribbon is especially eye-catching — it is modeled to project outward from the surface, curling and looping like a real tied ribbon. This dimensional treatment creates a subtle trompe l’oeil effect, giving the plate wonderful depth and presence. Additional details include a small butterfly at the center and hand-painted colors in soft pinks, greens, blues, and a branch design around the rim. Fitz and Floyd is well known for pieces that blur the line between decorative art and functional serve-ware, and this plate is a great example of that approach. It displays beautifully on a wall or plate stand, but it can also be used for serving. It would make the prettiest Santa cookie plate, holiday dessert platter, or special-occasion serving piece.
