Dish

The dish is complete; there are slight enamel chips on the rim. The dish is oval with a wavy outline. In cross-section, the rim is bulging, the marli is sloping and concave; the wall is low and curved towards the bottom, which is flat. On the reverse, it has a truncated cone-shaped cross-section with a slightly convex base; the base is rounded all around. Three traces of pearls are visible on the rim. The inner enamel is bluish-white and crackled; the outer enamel is sprinkled with manganese. The body is pinkish red. There are three manganese fingerprints on the marli face. The dish is wobbly; the decoration is hand-painted in cobalt blue. It is geometric and floral. The decoration is on the husband and on the bottom. The decoration on the border consists of a solid ribbon followed by a ribbon with reserve decoration made of a central line waved in a semicircle and adorned with small inclined lines, of the acanthus feather stroke type. The background is decorated with a leafy, flowering stem.
