Gadroon bowl

The bowl is incomplete, with a small portion of the rim missing and glaze chips on the reverse. It is circular in shape with an undulating rim. The wing is domed and wide, and the wall slopes towards the bottom; the base is slightly domed. On the reverse, the dish rests on a circular foot with an internal bearing, connected to the bottom by a short strangled ring; the fulcrum is domed and partially unglazed. The center is recessed and flat. The body is beige, and the object is covered with a bluish-white enamel. The reverse enamel is dotted with small needle holes; the decoration is molded and hand-painted in blue. The molded decoration is visible on the rim, wing, wall and bottom. The painted motif is vegetal. The rim has an undulating contour, each undulation being the extension of a long gadroon perpendicular to the rim; the radiating gadroons cover the entire face of the wing and wall to the bottom, flaring out towards the rim; they are domed on the face and concave on the reverse. The bottom is slightly convex. The painted decoration touches the wing and bottom. A fillet is painted on the edge of the wing; the decoration on the wing consists of two different stylized plant motifs painted alternately on the gadroons; another fillet is painted on the wing near the bottom. The background is decorated with a leafy, flowering stem surrounded by leaves, all within a double ring.
