Plate
The plate is complete. It is circular in shape with a wavy rim. The rim is thick and slightly domed. The marli slopes inwards and curves towards the bottom, which is flat without a foot. There are three traces of a pernette in a triangular pattern on the reverse of the marli. There are five enamel chips under the base, arranged in a square with a central one. There is a signature painted in blue under the marli: RD in cursive letters. The decoration is hand-painted in blue on the front and on the cover. It features plant and heraldic motifs. On the front, the rim and bottom are decorated. The marli is decorated with a broad wavy line near the rim, followed by a broad wavy ribbon composed of two alternately repeated elements. One of the elements is a half-flower drawn in blue and painted pale blue, from which hang two scrolls trimmed at the ends with acanthus leaves; between them are two superimposed full pearls. This half-flower is set in a wide ribbon painted dark blue and flanked by two volutes in reserve. The other motif is a half-flower in reserve on the ribbon, smaller than the previous one and also flanked by two volutes in reserve. The ribbon is closed on the inside by a double hemmed line which, joined to the ends of the large scrolls, forms a tongue imitating a mantling. Beneath the tongue are a plant motif and a pearl. The central motif is a coat of arms. It takes the form of an oval shield of azure (the field is hatched with horizontal lines) with a left hand holding a high dagger (point upwards) of azure accompanied by two five-pointed stars of azure. The shield is surmounted by a count’s crown. The supporters are plant elements, including scrolls and acanthus leaves in reserve. A cherub with outstretched wings supports the shield.
