DescriptionThis ceramic celery dish encompasses an oval form, while its outer perimeter is lined with gold, marked by a repeating pattern of rounded indents all around. An embellished portion of the gold lining is visible on either side, likely serving as the handles. A line of dark emerald green against a pattern of rounded gold shapes directly underneath the upper gold perimeter, followed by a row of more gold embellishments. Repeating clusters of pink and white flowers surrounded by green leaves sit underneath, followed by gold, scrollwork-like designs sitting on top of another emerald green lining.
