Elinke, Inwald

This unusual 10-inch marigold plate was found in Sweden a number of years ago by Ellen and Keith Richardson. They were unable to identify it until Glen and Stephen Thistlewood discovered the pattern in an Inwald catalog from about 1928. The catalog did not list a name for the pattern: the Richardson's decided to name it Elinke.

So far it is one of the few iridized pieces known in the pattern. The pattern is on the base and is intaglio. There are 18 stylized flowers swirling around the underside rim.
