Jaybirds are often symbols of fearlessness and confidence. This cookie platter possesses stylized, pierced handles. The background is primarily mottled blue to resemble the sky, while the foreground is blushed green. This exquisite plate possesses a unique scalloped lip decorated with gilt. Measures 10.5 in diameter (handle to handle). Excellent, preowned condition with no chips, cracks, or crazing. Some blue residue on the back. Please reach out with any questions, or reasonable offers.
