Plate
The plate has a circular shape with a plain rim pinched at regular intervals. It is complete. The rim is thick and slightly domed. The rim is slightly inward sloping and concave, with a small bulge at its junction with the wall; the wall is curved and the base is slightly domed. On the reverse, the plate rests on a flat base. There are three pernette marks on the reverse. There is a small blue incised mark under the base. There are linear marks on the inner base and numerous marks under the base, near its edge ; The decoration is applied by transfer printed; it is blue in color and features the Flying Pennant motif. The printed decoration is visible on the inner border, wall and background. The decoration on the folding wall consists of two different motifs repeated in alternation, separated by a third motif. One of the motifs consists of a zone delimited by wide, knotted scrolls; it is filled, alternately, with either empty-core cells arranged in a staggered pattern, or pearls with cores. Near the edge, this pattern is decorated with a half-flower; pointed leaves emerge from the base of the scrolls. The other motif is delimited by two full, mirrored Greek motifs, framing a two-pointed, full tongue with a flower flanked by leaves and two acanthus leaves on its points. This ensemble supports leafy, flowering plant stems. The decoration on the wall is a band supported by a fine line: it consists of recumbent scrolls, repeated in a mirror-like fashion; triangular points emerge from their tops. The background decoration, which rises slightly above the wall, is surrounded by a ring that borders the band. It is an oriental scene with river, bridge and islands. On the main island, in the foreground, stands a multi-storey pavilion topped by a roof with a central pole; bounded on the front by two rocks and two trees, its grounds are enclosed by a fence, and it is bordered by trees on the right. To its left, a bridge seen in profile links it to another island, bordered by a cliff with two trees and, in the background, pavilions, one with fenced grounds, and mountains with birds flying overhead. Two figures cross the three-arched bridge; a sailboat sails at the foot of the bridge, and others are grouped in the background. The rendering of the decor is sharp. The junction of the marli frieze is visible.
