Plate

The plate is complete, with a chip on the rim and a long crack. It is circular with a plain rim. On the front, the rim slopes slightly inwards, and the wall slopes towards the bottom, which is flat. On the reverse, the plate rests on a milled foot, the base of which is unglazed; the bottom is recessed and flat. The body is beige, and the object is covered with a bluish-white enamel. There are three traces of a pernette in a triangular pattern on the reverse. The enamel on the front is shiny. The enamel around the rim has disappeared ; The decoration is hand-painted in polychrome cobalt blue, underglaze, and orange, violet, yellow and green overglaze. Vegetal and floral motifs. The decoration is found on the marli, on the wall and on the base. The decoration on the marli consists of three long identical stems arranged in a triangle: they are composed of a central flower traced in red and painted in violet and yellow, which is bordered by long stems traced in red and trimmed with leaves painted in blue and green. The decoration on the wall consists of leaves painted blue and green. The background features a violet-painted support for two flowers and leaves similar to those on the border. The leaves were painted with a square-tipped brush.
