This is a small, shallow porcelain souvenir dish characterized by a heavily fluted and ruffled scalloped rim. The central well features a transfer-printed architectural illustration of the State Capitol building in Madison, Wisconsin. The image is hand-tinted with polychrome colors, including greens for the foreground foliage and yellow for the building's facade. Printed text below the image reads State Capitol, Madison, Wis. The wide, decorative border is finished in a deep cobalt blue glaze, a style frequently associated with flow blue souvenir ware from the late 19th to early 20th centuries. Traces of gold gilding are present along the outermost edges of the ruffled rim. No maker marks or backstamps are visible on the interior surface.
