A small, lavender bone china accent plate from the Wedgwood X Sheila Bridges collaboration, featuring the jump rope vignette from Bridges' Harlem Toile de Jouy design. The plate is part of a four-piece place setting set that also consists of a white dinner plate with basketball vignette (2022.75.1.1), a large soup bowl with horses (2022.75.1.2), and a smaller bowl with picnic scene (2022.75.1.3). On the face of the round, lavender colored plate is a scene of three girls wearing 18th century clothing jumping rope. The girl jumping rope in the center has a bright yellow dress and green sweater while the girls turning the rope on either side are depicted in white dresses and tones of grey except for their red shoes. The back of the plate features a backstamp design of two bright red 18th century style shoes lying on the ground.
