Adapted from "Pa. German Dish" (ca. 1936) by Jessica Price, this ornament brings a touch of early American folk art to the season. The original watercolor, now in the collection of the National Gallery of Art, was created for the Index of American Design, a New Deal–era project that cataloged the nation’s craft and decorative traditions in meticulous detail.
Price’s rendering of this hand-tooled plate, with its bold green field, star-shaped pattern, and stylized tulip forms, captures the strength and symmetry of Pennsylvania German pottery, where everyday objects were elevated through pattern and care.
Printed on both sides of glossy ceramic, the ornament preserves that sense of craft and balance, a tribute to the beauty of handmade history. Includes gold string for hanging (or replace with your favorite ribbon).
