It is very hard to describe this beautiful piece of art which just happens to be on a plate. This was commissioned and has a very interesting history.Artist ,Dorothy Hardcastle captures a young westie puppy as only she can.not a baby cute pup but a realistic one just entering the mischievous big ear stage. Signed on the back with the Manufacture,s stamp. The 7 or so inch plate is in lovely quiet shades of green with gold edging all around,stamped “Haviland-Limoges”. Perfect condition.a treasure
