decorative plate

I realized it's been too long since my last china of the week post; Count this one as china of the month!
I recently rediscovered this unusual piece of Minton which I had forgotten about in the recesses of my cupboards. It now sits on my coffee table on a stack of current magazines (my favorite is on top here, 'the world of interiors')Facedown you get a better look at the odd petal shape of the plate. It's so useful having it here on the coffee table as another place to set a drink or snack without having to worry about staining a magazine or making a mess. Why didn't I think of this earlier?

Lovely plate - I love beautiful china - have roamed the flee markets in England for many years some time ago and collected the one or other find. Today this is much more difficult...

Such a beautiful dish...it definitely should not be hidden away in the cupboard. Just picked up the April 2009 World of Interiors...featuring Brice Marden's house. Fab-u-lous!
