DescriptionThis is a Worcester cabbage leaf dish press-molded as two overlapping leaves with pink midribs issuing from the crossed-stems handle. The lower leaf has a curled-over tip. The dish is painted in shades of rose, yellow, iron-red, blue, purple, and green with a floral bouquet, two radishes, and scattered floral and foliate sprigs. There is slight wear in the center, a small chip under the tip, and a tiny chip on one stem corner.ProvenanceHenry Clay Hofheimer, II
