• Details:  This is such a beautiful plate from the work of folk artist Warren Kimble, called "Coastal Breeze".  It's actually a salad plate from a dinnerware set by Sakura, but since we only have the one plate, we think this would make a beautiful wall decor plate.  The plate features a large sailboat passing by a lighthouse, we're not sure if it's a fictional lighthouse but it certainly resembles both the Cape Hatteras lighthouse in NC and the St Augustine lighthouse in FL.  The colors are true to the original artwork, the plate is finished with a black rim.  It is stamped on the back: "Coastal Breeze, 1998 Warren Kimble by Sakura, NY. Dishwasher Safe, Microwave Safe, Made in Indonesia". 
• How To Use:  If you're trying trying to complete the dinnerware set, this is the Salad/Desert size plate.  Would make a beautiful addition to a coastal styled home, or a great gift for a sailboat or lighthouse collector.    
• Materials:  Ceramic
• Dimension: 8 1/8 inches in Diameter
• Condition:  Used.   Very Good Condition.  There are no chips, scratches or any other defects on the front of the plate, however, there are two black marks on the back, might be paint from the black rim, we were unable to remove the stains.  If you're hanging this plate on the wall, those marks will not show.
