Plate c. 1936

This design for a plate by American artist William Kerby depicts a waterfall cascading into a rocky landscape. The image is rendered in a blue and white palette reminiscent of traditional blue and white transferware, a popular style of decorative ceramics in the 19th century. The plate's design is a testament to Kerby's ability to capture the beauty of nature with simplicity and elegance. The artist's interest in blue and white ceramics and his ability to translate such motifs into his own works are evident in this design.
