Lenox Butterfly Meadow Monarch Blue Poppy Accent Plate 9 Inch Luncheon Replacement

This is a single Lenox Butterfly Meadow Monarch accent plate, 9 inches across, in white porcelain with a gently scalloped rim and molded fluting that runs from each point of the scallop toward the center.

The center carries a tall stem of blue poppies, one fully open bloom with a gold center and a smaller bud below it, over broad green leaves. A yellow and black butterfly flies at the lower left of the blooms, a small moth hovers above them, and a red ladybug rests on a leaf. There are no chips and no cracks, the printed design is sharp and complete, and the backstamp is fully legible. As a used plate it carries faint utensil marks in the center well that show only under close light.

Butterfly Meadow pairs botanical illustration with the insects that visit, and this variation carries the Monarch name on the back. It is the kind of piece that breaks up a shelf of plain white plates, or fills the one gap in a set that is almost complete.
