DescriptionSmall, round, ironstone bread-and-butter plate. The plate is decorated at the ribbed rim with four medium-blue sprig-molded designs, alternating between between two vines twisted together with clusters of grapes and a single vine with cluster of grapes. There is a crack in the ironstone running from the rim toward the center of the plate. All of the glazed surfaces are crazing, and there is a light brown discoloration on portions of the top and bottom of the plate.
