The design encircles a wide central well, framed by double blue rings, creating a balanced and graphic Arts & Crafts composition.
Produced in Dedham, Massachusetts in the early 20th century, this plate shows the characteristic variation and depth that define authentic Dedham work. At 8.5 inches in diameter, it works beautifully as a cabinet plate, shelf accent, or layered into a wall display.
Marked on the reverse with the impressed Dedham rabbit.

COLLECTOR'S NOTE
The moth motif appears among Dedham Pottery’s early Arts & Crafts designs and reflects the movement’s interest in nature rendered with restraint rather than sentiment. Plates with figural insect decoration are less common than floral or border patterns and were produced in limited quantities during the early 20th century.
