DescriptionPressed and cut colorless glass plate with silvery black painted decoration on the surface. The shallow plate has a plain edge, curved sides, and a flat bottom. The whole underside of the plate is cut; a multi-pointed sunburst has also been cut into the underside. Black paint decorates the top surface of the plate, beginning in the center with an image of a globe. Above the globe, on the side and rim, is the profile of a woman. There is a semi-circle around the woman's head, and three additional semi-circles are evenly-spaced around the rim. There is a plain, four-petal flower in each of the three semi-circles; lines of black paint connect the semi-circles at the bottom, middle, and edge of the rim. A few small spots of black paint have flaked off, mostly on the globe.
