Anthropologie Evenings in Quito Hummingbird & Poppy Flower Plate Michelle Morin

A discontinued plate from Anthropologie's "Evenings in Quito" collection, featuring original artwork by Maine-based painter Michelle Morin. The design showcases a jewel-toned hummingbird mid-flight approaching a large red poppy blossom, surrounded by an exuberant, layered botanical composition of tropical leaves, seed pods, protea-like blooms in orange, green, purple, and taupe — all rendered on a crisp cream-white ceramic ground.

The imagery has the layered, sketchbook quality of Morin's fine art practice, where detailed illustration meets loose, gestural painting. Morin's work seeks a balance within the complex and mesmerizing layers in nature, honing in on shape, line, and color — drawn to the close-up wild-tangle contrasted by softer patterns of distant perspectives in the natural world.

The reverse bears the "Michelle Morin" name stamp with a charming guinea fowl illustration — the signature mark used across the Anthropologie Evenings in Quito tableware line — along with Made in China / Dishwasher Safe / Microwave Safe.

Condition: Very good vintage condition with minimal wear.

Measurements: 8.25" D
