In the late 19th century, National Romantic motifs—such as flowers or landscapes—became popular, typically painted on black-fired terracotta. These were created by female artists who often possessed considerable talent.

This place card holder features a motif of a woman sitting beneath trees, gazing out over water with boats.

It is in good condition, though there is a flaw on the bottom edge.
