Description

Medium oval dish. The border along the inside rim is made up of two thin black lines with a green stripe 5/16" wide in between them. Underneath the border along the length of the dish, there is light green text which reads in all caps "SHAKERS MT. LEBANON N.Y." The font of the text has white spaces outlined in green to create a three-dimensional appearance. The interior is decorated with three floral arrangements made up of green and brown stems/branches. Along the side opposite the text (nearer "SHAKERS") is a floral arrangement consisting of a blue flower with eight petals and a two-petal flowerbud. On this same side there is another arrangement with a purple flower with nine petals and a two-petal flowerbud. The third floral arrangement is on the bottom of the dish. It has an orange flower with six tripartite-petals and a brown center surrounded by yellow, as well as another with to oval petals on either side of a tripartite-petal. The exterior edges have no decoration.
