The image displays a "Blue Onion" pattern plate, also known as "Zwiebelmuster" in German. <br>This iconic pattern, originating from Meissen porcelain in Germany, features a distinctive cobalt blue design on a white background. <br>The pattern, created in 1731, was inspired by East Asian designs and is named "onion" due to a misinterpretation of the depicted fruits, which are actually peaches and pomegranates along with bamboo and flowers. <br>The "Blue Onion" pattern has been widely adopted by various porcelain manufacturers, including Hutschenreuther and Original Bohemia Zwiebelmuster. <br>Meissen's "New Cutout" shape with the "Onion Pattern" is the original design from 1739. <br>The company that made this particular item hasn't been in operation since the early 1900's.<br>It's been in my family for generations.
