Plate
The plate has a circular shape with a plain rim pinched at regular intervals. It is complete; two small chips are missing from the foot. The rim is thick and slightly domed. The rim slopes slightly inwards, 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 double countersunk foot; the bottom is recessed and flat. The bottom is recessed and flat. There is a mark below the bottom: MASON’S PATENT IRONSTONE CHINA. There are linear marks on the inner base; the decoration is applied by transfer printing with gold-painted highlights on the cover; it is two-tone in dark blue and red, Imari-type, with an oriental walled garden motif (Japan Pattern). The decoration is visible on the inner rim, wall and base. The decoration on the marli consists of two different elements arranged crosswise. In one case, a large central flower is outlined and colored red, flanked by a small flower surrounded by blue-painted leaves, and a long blue-painted leaf ending in a red-painted flower, while in the other case, the flower is flanked by two leaves. These large flowers are each separated by a leafy, flowering branch. The decoration on the wall consists of a band drawn in blue and adorned with two alternating motifs: one is a trellis drawn in blue, while the other is a half-flower drawn and painted in red and flanked by leaves painted in succession and in blue, which is inserted between two vertical or curved bands each made of a thin blue line and a broad dark blue line. The background is a landscape scene, consisting of a terrace with an undulating top; its lower half is in faded red with tufts of grass, while its upper portion is in faded blue. To the right is a fence with angled sections on the left; its perimeter is in dark blue, while the compartments are in faded red and adorned with a central oval. Various leafy and flowering branches emerge on either side of the fence. To the left is an undulating mass pierced by three circular holes in reserve (probably an Oriental-style rock), from which emerge various leafy and flowering branches. The rim of the plate is covered with a light-brown coating. The decoration is clearly rendered.
