Description: 1920? Ceramic plate of GA by "Jars, France pour F & S." 10" in diameter. Scalloped rim.

This colorful plate contrasts the brown of the grasshopper with the black of the ant. There is a sack, presumably of grain, in front of the ant's substantial home. Flowers and meadows seem to be blooming; is that appropriate for this scene, in which the grasshopper comes to the ant in winter?
