Vintage Seymour Mann porcelain soap dish Water Lily by Eda Mirsky Mann 1970s

This is a vintage 1970s Seymour Mann porcelain soap dish in the beautiful Water Lily pattern. Seymour Mann was an importer of porcelain giftware starting in the 1940s, and his wife, Eda Mirsky Mann, was an accomplished artist with works displayed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. The Water Lily pattern was designed by Eda, as were several of Mann's popular patterns. It features "water plants with large, flat, floating leaves and multi-colored flowers." Dish measures 5.5" X 4" and 1.25" deep. It has a scalloped rim, trimmed in green, and the colorful floral design is in the center. Flowers are yellow, purple, pink and orange with green leaves and blue water. Made in Japan (although there are no markings to indicate this, as it probably had a sticker that's been lost, all the Seymour Mann porcelain pieces were made in Japan at that time). It is in absolutely excellent condition with no flaws or signs of use at all. Still looks like new even at nearly half a century old. Truly a lovely piece.
