This is a vintage 1970s Seymour Mann square dish or plate in the beautiful Day Lily (aka 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 8" X 8" and 1.25" a little over 1.25" deep.  It is 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.  I am not sure where it was made; I'd read in the past that all of the Seymour Mann pieces from this time were made in Japan, but the back of this dish reads, "Day Lily fine china by any of various Eurasian plants of the Lily family."  Underneath that is the Eda signature mark.  Dish is in absolutely excellent condition with no scratches or signs of use at all.  Still looks like new even at half a century old.  A very pretty piece.  Asking $8.00 obo.  Everything I have listed for  sale is "or best offer", so feel free to make an offer.
