Description:

An indented earthenware plate printed in pink and black with a pattern of birds and flowers named Cornelian and a ribbon border. Cornelian (also spelled carnelian) is a reddish-brown mineral which is commonly used as a semi-precious gemstone. It is also a cherry dogwood tree. The leaves and flowers of the Cornelian Cherry Dogwood are very similar to those in the pattern, so the title probably refers to the tree.
