This elegant porcelain piece is a Herend Indian Basket Green Openwork Large Plate, also known as a decorative charger, dating back to around 1960. This plate stands out because of its intricate openwork rim—a lacy border hand-painted with delicate green floral and leaf designs and just the right touch of gold accents. The center of the plate features an intricate green basket overflowing with stylized flowers and leaves, all painted by hand. At about 9.5 inches in diameter and with a gentle, shallow rise of just an inch, it’s just the right size for prominent display in a china cabinet or on a wall. After more than sixty years, it remains in near mint condition, which is remarkable for porcelain of its age and style. The openwork—where many plates could easily chip or break—is intact and stunning, adding to the rarity of this piece.
