This charming vintage wall plaque features a delightful raised design of a stork in flight carrying a baby—an enduring symbol from European folklore. Crafted in the style of classical Jasperware, the piece has a soft sage green matte background with intricate white relief detailing. The scene is beautifully framed with an ornate border of ribbons and foliage, adding an elegant neoclassical touch.

Likely made in Continental Europe, possibly Germany or Austria, around the turn of the 20th century, this plaque is reminiscent of pieces produced by makers such as Schafer & Vater, although it is unmarked. The reverse is unglazed and rough, typical of early 20th-century mold-made ceramics, and bears the impressed numbers "2940" and "18," suggesting a catalog or mold reference.

Ideal as a nursery decoration, christening gift, or collector’s item, this whimsical and finely detailed plaque is a lovely example of antique decorative ceramic art.
