Surrounding him: stylized tulips in the Pennsylvania Dutch vernacular, scroll tendrils, a star-form flower at his feet. The palette is two colors only — black and a warm olive-gold — on a cream ground, and the restraint of it is what makes the design work. The transfer printing is clean and sharp.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a salad or bread plate from an American dinnerware set of the 1950s or 1960s, produced during the period when Pennsylvania Dutch and folk art motifs were a fixture in middle-market American kitchenware. The form is standard: shallow rim, smooth cream semi-vitreous body, low foot ring. The base carries no maker's mark — common for pieces sold through chain stores with paper labels that have long since disappeared, or for factory seconds that moved through the same channels unmarked.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition:\u003c\/strong\u003e Very good.
