Four Seasons Plate

This is an example of "reverse" chipping carving i.e. carved after the plate was stained and finished.

Can you tell which rosette represents which season?

Beautiful piece. I'm gonna say summer at the top, spring right side,fall left side, winter bottem. Skip

Skipster; I'm inclined to think Spring, left side (new flower in bloom), and Autumn, right side (branches are bare of leaves).

As far as I know this is an original Wayne Barton pattern. I guess he will have to be the arbiter in this regard.

Mackc, very good example of Reverse Chip Carving. No room for mistakes and I don't see any. Beautiful Piece. Merle

Well Mack I gave it my best! I keep going back to look at your carving and wondering if I should try one. My wife would love it, thanks for sharing. Skip

Nice work on the Four Seasons. Carving a stained or painted plate can give you some great designs, and show up wonderfully. Great job!

Mark, the first word after seeing this one was beautiful - then I read the post and found it in most of them. So, it must be the best description. Well done.
