Plate
The plate is complete; however, the glaze around the rim has disappeared. The plate is circular, with a plain rim. In cross-section, the rim is in line with the marli, which slopes towards the bottom; the latter is slightly domed on the face. The reverse of the plate is truncated cone-shaped, with a slightly depressed center. The base of the plate is angular. The body is pinkish-beige in color and covered with a bluish-white enamel; there are enamel chips under the base, and a burr near the rim. The decoration is hand-painted in two-tone. It was traced and painted in dark blue underglaze and orange-red overglaze. It is of the compartmented braid and floral basket type. The decoration is painted on the marli, near the rim, and in the center of the background. The rim is decorated with a ring-shaped braid. It is outlined in blue and painted in blue and orange-red. The braid is decorated with two repeated motifs. The main motif, in reserve and mirrored, consists of two scrolls set between two wing-shaped quarter-flowers. These flowers are adorned with radiating lines in orange-red. The other motif is a latticework in orange-red, decorated with blue-painted pearls. These two motifs are separated by a half-flower traced in orange-red, which is set in two vertical bands painted blue, while the sides are in reserve. The background features a flowery basket. The basket is truncated cone-shaped, with a flat bottom and a bulging horizontal edge; it is outlined in blue and partially filled with a latticework painted orange-red; the rendering of the basket imitates rattan. From the top of the basket emerge a central half-flower flanked by two aligned leaves; these are surrounded by leafy vegetal stems and grapes, and all these trimmings are traced in dark blue. The flowers and some of the leaves are partially filled with orange-red radiating lines. Other leaves are painted blue, while the grapes are partially painted blue; two coiled tendrils hang from the grapes that line the basket. The basket rests on a flared support. The whole rests on a terrace outlined in dark blue and painted blue; it is bordered by two tufts of grass outlined in orange-red.
