The deep soup plate has a splaying, slanted, eight- lobed rim. It is decorated with a stylized tendril, reaching back into the centre with loose, green leaves and yellow buds. The unshaded colour patches are outlined by sensitive, thick blue brush contours. The bowl and the edge of the rim are coloured with white. In the centre of the foliage and at the end of the stem the natural yellowish colour of the clay material appears. This form was numbered 2527 in the Zsolnay factory Fafon book (Suppenteller), then it became part of the Neo-baroque dish set No. 2655. According to the notebook of Teréz Zsolnay (JPM Ad. Inv.No. 1578-91-1584), it was designed in 1889. The drawing of the plate cannot be found in the chronologically arranged Décor Book between 1897 and 1900, only later, in the 7th book from 1907- 1908, under number 5134, with ’’Rippl-Rónai” notation. The alternative picture of this décor can be seen on a companion piece in the- Janus Pannonius Museum of Pécs (Inv.No. 51.5059.1).
