This is a fun plate! The bottom part of the plate has matt white paint sponged on, then I scratched out some poppy buds. After firing I covered the whole area plus the white stripes with mother of pearl ... this made the little buds show up with the mother of pearl. The black was sponged on and then the lines scratched out.
The yellow stripe I painted on and although you can't see very well in the picture it has little irregular white base for gold dots on it.
The flowers are paint and pen work.
'twas fun to paint - and hopefully fun to view!
