A Swiss? earthenware wall charger of circular form, decorated with a hand-painted central landscape medallion. The scene depicts a lakeside building featuring an arched arcade, set against a background of high Alpine mountains with a small boat visible upon the water. The central medallion is enclosed by a broad border with a dark brown ground, densely decorated with hand-painted Alpine floral motifs in a folk-art style. Visible flora include white edelweiss, blue gentians, and daisies, rendered with a slightly raised impasto-like finish. The outer rim is detailed with a repeating geometric scroll and dot pattern in white and blue.
