The top surface of each plate features a highly detailed and textured design that replicates the appearance of cabbage leaves. The leaf veins are intricately raised, creating a three-dimensional effect that enhances the realism of the design.
The edges of the plates are slightly wavy, mimicking the natural, uneven edges of a real cabbage leaf.
The primary color is a rich, deep green, with variations in shading to emphasize the leaf pattern and give the plates a more lifelike appearance.
The central part of the leaf design often features a lighter, almost white, starburst pattern, adding contrast and depth to the overall look.
The plates have a glossy glaze that not only protects the ceramic but also enhances the vibrant green color and the detailed leaf design. This shiny finish adds a touch of elegance and sophistication to the rustic, natural motif.
The bottom of each plate is glazed in a smooth green finish, with concentric rings typical of ceramic plate bases.
Each plate is stamped with "SECLA MADE IN PORTUGAL," indicating its origin. This marking is slightly recessed and surrounded by a ring, ensuring it remains visible despite the glaze.
