This cake plate is 10 3/4" across. There are open gold handles on each side. The orchids are shadings of pink, rose and lavendar with a rusty wine colored center. The artist was probably an amateur. The work is not bad, but not professional. Signed "G.James" on the back. There are a couple of 1/8-1/4" not noticible scratches. Nice for a plate shelf, or for actually serving goodies.
