Villeroy & Boch Ceramic Plate with Deer Motif (1920) 10¼"

This charming Villeroy & Boch ceramic plate dates to 1920 and features a serene woodland scene with a stylized deer, framed by foliage in a green-toned palette. The scalloped edge is adorned with an intricate border, also in shades of green and black, drawing attention to the central wildlife theme. Signed with the initials "MGJ," this piece likely reflects the hand-painted work of a Villeroy & Boch artist or decorator from the early 20th century. The plate showcases the company's mastery of both form and decoration during the post-Art Nouveau period, combining craftsmanship with naturalistic beauty.
