About MeThis octagonal plate imitates the Chinese famille rose style of decoration and has a raised prunus border in blanc de chine style. The prunus (plum blossom) is the national flower of China and symbolises resilience and perseverence because it blooms during the winter snow and is an early indication of Spring.
