This and one other I am listing I found together and assume were made by the same person, who I think had a very good eye for color and pattern. Good on the table under the coffee pot or tea pot or dishes or candlesticks or whatever. 13 1 2" in diameter and in good antique condition on both side, definitely used and a bit faded, but lovely.
