Plate
The plate is complete; however, most of the glaze around the rim has disappeared, as has part of the glaze on the base. The plate is circular in shape, with an undulating rim. In cross-section, the rim is in line with the marli, which is inclined 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 beige in color and covered with bluish-white enamel; there are enamel chips under the rim, on the marli and under the base, as well as burrs near the rim on the reverse. Three traces of linear and triangular pernettes are visible under the marli. There are a few small flaws in the enamel of the inner base, which shows a number of small linear marks and a few areas of amati enamel ; The decoration is hand-painted in blue. It was traced and painted in dark blue underglaze. It is of the compartmented braid and floral basket type. The decoration is painted on the marli, near the edge, and in the center of the background. The border is decorated with a wavy braid. It is outlined and painted in blue. The braid is decorated with three alternately repeated motifs. Of the two main motifs, one is in reserve on a blue-painted background: it consists of a half-flower painted partially in blue, flanked by a scroll and a quarter-flower, which is decorated with inclined lines. The other motif is a latticework drawn in blue and trimmed with three rows of off-center pearls painted in blue (so-called fish-scale decoration). These two motifs are separated by a blue-painted half-flower, set in arched bands of fine, non-equidistant lines, the inner portion of which is painted blue. The background features a flowering basket. The basket is truncated cone-shaped with a flat, bulging base, as is the rim; it is outlined in blue and trimmed with four vertical columns made of horizontal lines outlined and painted in blue; the rendering of the basket imitates rattan. From the top of the basket emerge a central half-flower flanked by two flowers; they are surrounded by leafy plant stems and grapes, from which hang two tendrils on either side of the basket; all these trimmings are traced and painted in blue. The basket rests on a flared base with a flat, rounded foot.
