Document source description
In the center of this plate, a boyarina bride proffers the groom a ewer and a beaker on a tray. Above is inscribed in white lettering over blue, dorogoi gost' (Dear Guest). The background resembles a geometric carpet with orange, olive, and blue tones. Encircling the couple is a creamy orange border decorated with green checkmarks and raised silver gilt spheres. Beyond, a band of ovoboid fields alternatively enclose ferocious birds on deep blue grounds and similar shapes with Usolsk-type blossoms over either red or deep violet grounds. The outer, pointed fields contain Usolsk-type blossoms against pink and pale green, or turquoise backgrounds. Circles of translucent green enamel mark the junctures of these fields.
