About this work

The dish has a stamped mark on the bottom: a little house with a bird on the roof, plus the word *"MAGYAR"* (which means "Hungarian") and the year *1971*.

This is a round, shallow dish with bright colors. In the center, there’s a painted cluster of red roses with green leaves. Around the edge, three colored rings—yellow, blue, and another blue—frame the design. The background is plain white, and the whole thing looks like it’s meant to hold something.

The dish has a stamped mark on the bottom: a little house with a bird on the roof, plus the word *"MAGYAR"* (which means "Hungarian") and the year *1971*. It was likely made to hang on a wall, with two slits for a rope.

Overview

A shallow, circular plate of enamelled ceramic, dated 1971, bears a vivid floral motif centered with red roses and green foliage against a white ground. The rim is accented by three concentric rings in yellow and blue hues. The piece includes a stamped mark on its underside depicting a house, a bird, the inscription “MAGYAR,” and an undeciphered word.

Subject & Meaning

The central design celebrates a bouquet of roses, a traditional symbol of beauty and affection, rendered in bright reds and greens. The surrounding concentric circles frame the composition, adding a decorative border that emphasizes the central floral arrangement.

Technique & Style

The vessel is enamelled on both interior and exterior surfaces, with the decorative scheme applied by hand‑painting. The color palette—white background, red roses, green leaves, and yellow‑blue rim—reflects a mid‑20th‑century folk‑art aesthetic common in Hungarian ceramic production.

History & Provenance

Stamped on the base is a house with a bird, the word “MAGYAR,” and the year 1971, indicating Hungarian manufacture during that period. Two slits on the underside accommodate a rope, suggesting the object was intended for wall mounting rather than table use.

Context

The piece belongs to a tradition of decorative ceramics produced in Hungary in the post‑war era, when artisans often combined functional objects with vivid folk motifs. Such items were typically used as ornamental wall hangings in domestic interiors.
