This terra cotta plate, measuring 8 3/4" in diameter, and 1" deep is decorated with various colors of slip, which create the colorful swirls on the surface. It is crazed, as one might expect pottery of this type to be, but is in overall grand condition. Part of the original label is still visible on the reverse. I suspect that this piece dates from the 1930's or 1940's, and was manufactured in Bulgaria then under Soviet domination.
