A charming Villeroy & Boch majolica plate featuring a raised butterfly and floral motif against a soft pink ground. The yellow butterfly and blue flower are hand-painted with crisp relief and lovely color contrast, giving the plate a sweet, cottage-style decorative presence. At 8 inches, it displays beautifully on a wall, plate rack, or layered into a spring-inspired tablescape.
The underside carries the impressed "V & B" with an "S" below-indicating Villeroy & Boch Saarland production-along with the impressed mold number 977 and a 7. This marking style is consistent with V&B's mid-century decorative ceramics.
A delightful and collectible example of Villeroy & Boch's post-war majolica-style work.
