This unassuming survivor reflects a mid-century return to classical design sources in the trend known as Neo Grec. A band of traditional anthemion detail provides the sole ornament around the edge of this toy ironstone dinner plate.
One note of interest however is the unique transfer color. We have noticed that this particular rich, pastel violet purple color seems to only be associated with mid-century patterns. The absence of any center motif is also characteristic of the period and foreshadows the border-only patterns to come.
