Jarvis Hand Painted Porcelain Lattice Ring Dish, Pink Roses & Butterfly, Light Blue Panels, Gold Scalloped Rim

This is a hand painted porcelain lattice dish, likely 1950s, with pink roses and a yellow and green butterfly in the center, light blue panels, and a gold scalloped rim, signed Jarvis on the back.

The rim is smooth and the gold is in one piece with no fading, with only light grime on the foot ring underneath, all shown in the photos.

Pierced lattice blanks like this were sold plain so china painters could decorate them, and painters often signed their work on the back, which is where the Jarvis name sits. It makes a small ring dish for anyone who likes butterflies, flowers, or pretty hand painted things.
