This design for a "Strawberry Design Plate," created by Ralph Atkinson around 1939, features a delicate pattern of strawberries and leaves. The plate is a classic example of pressed glass, a technique popularized in the 19th century that involves pressing molten glass into a mold. The design is both intricate and visually appealing, showcasing the skill of the glassmaker. The plate's wavy edge and the intricate details in the strawberry design make it a beautiful example of decorative glasswork.
