DescriptionThis is a Worcester fig leaf dish press-molded on the front with a fine network of veining issuing from a short stem. The center is molded with a partially unfurled scroll painted with a brown basket of lush flowers placed on a green lawn and surrounded near the serrated rim with four colorful floral bouquets and a small sprig.
