Plate 1877 - 1893

This plate, created by Ott and Brewer between 1877 and 1893, showcases a vibrant, intricate design. The porcelain surface is adorned with a medley of red and gold patterns, featuring a bird perched on a tree branch, floral motifs, and geometric designs. The overall aesthetic evokes the popular Japanese art style known as Imari ware, which is characterized by its rich colors, detailed patterns, and gold accents. The plate is a testament to the influence of Japanese art on Western ceramics during the 19th century and is a striking example of the decorative arts of the period.
