This is a beautiful rare salad plate with a southwestern painting of an American Indian chief and his horse in the background with other warriors and horses running in the foreground. An absolutely stunning piece to add western style to your home decor. I believe it is screen-painted. There is no mention of being for decorative purpose only, and it is not marked dishwasher and/or microwave safe. It is not marked that it is not safe for food, so I think it's safe for food. The bread or salad plate is 7-3/8" diameter. The center, where the design is, is 4-1/2" diameter. The date stamp on the back is 28-D-10 and my research revealed that is from the 4th quarter of 1999. This collectible plate or dinnerware replacement piece is a heavy weight material. I believe it is stoneware, but it could be ceramic or heavy porcelain. It weighs nearly 14 ounces. Very Good Condition. There are some imperfections in the painting that I can only see with a magnifying glass, and some imperfections in the glaze on the back of the plate. There are no chips, cracks, etc. It is a beautiful piece. Shipping may be a bit high, depending how far it needs to ship, because it weighs over a pound with a box and packing material.
