Black transfer printed fields of finely engraved square and circular motifs provide the ground for an equally geometric display of abstract flowers and foliage arranged around a central oval medallion. The flattened blossoms recall the abstract chrysanthemum motifs of earlier Asian ceramics. Each floral and foliage element is designed and placed with an eye for symmetry, both of the individual motif and of the overall composition.
Without violating the flatness of the pattern, our designer has distinguished the floral elements from the background by employing a heavier engraved line and with the addition of red, blue and yellow enameling to highlight the blossoms.
