Lepidoptera with Iris 16" Signature Presentation Plate

Created as an early prototype during the development of what would later become Lesley Roy's celebrated Blue Iris Collection, this remarkable piece captures a pivotal moment in the evolution of her work. Before the collection found its now-iconic white ground, Lesley explored the dramatic contrast of brilliant blue iris blossoms emerging from a luminous black field.

The result is both familiar and entirely unique—a bridge between two collections and a glimpse into the creative process itself.

Originally conceived as part of an elegant place setting ensemble, this generous Signature Form is equally beautiful as a serving platter, centerpiece, display piece, or paired with Lesley Roy's Lazy Susan base to create an extraordinary serving centerpiece.

Today it stands as a rare transitional work—part Lepidoptera, part Blue Iris, and wholly one of a kind.

16" Diameter

Compatible with the Lesley Roy Lazy Susan base (sold separately).

One of a Kind. A prototype that marks the beginning of the Blue Iris Collection.

This same 16" Round Glass Display & Presentation Platter is also available in Cathedral Gold™, featuring the entire surface in Lesley Roy's richly textured hand-applied double layer of Gold & Bronze Leaf with no center pattern. The uninterrupted gold treatment transforms the Signature Form into a luminous, versatile statement piece for serving, display, or as a dramatic foundation for a table setting.

Eight Cathedral Gold™ 16" Presentation Platters are currently available from the Lesley Roy Archive. Please contact us by email for availability and purchasing information.
