Plate
The plate is circular-octagonal in shape, with a plain rim pinched at regular intervals. It is complete except for a chip on the rim; a break and a long crack have been consolidated by three metal spikes. The rim is thick and slightly domed. The rim slopes slightly inwards, the wall is curved and the base is slightly domed. On the reverse, the plate rests on a flat base without a foot. There are three pernette marks on the reverse. There are a few small flaws in the glaze covering the inner base of the plate. There are linear marks on the inner base. There is a break and a long crack running across the plate; these are reinforced on the reverse by three copper metal studs, each inserted in a pair of small holes drilled in the outer wall of the plate ; The decoration is applied by transfer printed; it is blue in color and has an oriental motif (Boy on buffalo). The printed decoration is visible on the marli, on the wall and on the inner base. The decoration on the marli consists of two different elements repeated in alternation. The first is a motif resembling a butterfly with outstretched wings, seen from the front: it is decorated with two half-flowers ending in two curved plant stems with three beads. This motif is flanked by a wide band underlined by a double line and trimmed with small rhombuses with crosses arranged in a staggered pattern. The wall is decorated with a similar band, with the exception of the butterflies, which are replaced by lobed half-flowers. The background decoration is surrounded by a ring that borders the wall’s entablature. It depicts an oriental scene with a young man riding a buffalo (Boy on buffalo). The scene features a rocky terrace, partly covered with grass and trees, in the center of which winds a path leading to a tiered temple. The main scene features a buffalo in profile to the left, ridden by a young child whose left arm points upwards at the rear. In front of the animal stands a man with a hairstyle, seen from three-quarters to the right. Beside him stands a young man holding a bare branch. They are standing in front of a rounded rock. A bamboo-covered rock is visible in the background. The background is blurred. The junction of the frieze and the border is visible.
