"Pa. German Plate" is a painted ceramic plate by American artist William L. Antrim, dated c. 1936. The plate features a circular composition centered on a stylized vase filled with flowers. The piece showcases a vibrant palette of brown, green, and pink, with a detailed, almost geometric representation of the flowers. The artist’s signature can be seen in the bottom right corner. This work is an example of decorative art, reflecting the folk art traditions of Pennsylvania German culture, also known as Pennsylvania Dutch.
