The yellow butterfly and blue flower are hand‑painted with crisp relief and lovely color contrast, giving the plate a sweet, cottage‑style decorative presence. At 8 inches, it displays beautifully on a wall, plate rack, or layered into a spring‑inspired tablescape.
The underside carries the impressed “V & B” with an “S” below—indicating Villeroy & Boch Saarland production—along with the impressed mold number 977 and a 7. This marking style is consistent with V&B’s mid‑century decorative ceramics.
