This large Victorian aesthetic 10 3/4 " dinner plate is transfer printed in dark brown.

The pattern features delightful Japanesque geometric designs mixed with exotic palm trees and other tropicals. A shoreline with sailing vessels set to the horizon while a large flock of birds fly by.
An inset cartouche of a quarter moon rising with the north star beneath. A Bat is in flight below the scene. This pattern has everything going for it.
