This 18th century plate, produced by the Veuve Perrin factory, is a fine example of French faience. The yellow ground and delicate floral motifs are characteristic of the period, with a central design featuring a heart, triangle, and a wreath, signifying the importance of symbolism and religious devotion. The inscription "Vajo Cjorni" is possibly a family crest or mark, suggesting the plate was a personalized piece used for special occasions. The piece currently resides at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York.
