Plate
The plate is complete; the glaze around the rim has disappeared and a gap in the rim has been filled with plaster and painted. It is circular in shape with a plain rim. On the front, the narrow marli slopes towards the bottom, and the low wall curves towards the flat bottom. On the reverse, the plate rests on a ring-shaped foot, the base of which is unglazed; the bottom is recessed and flat. The reverse enamel is pitted with small holes. The body is beige, and the object is covered with a bluish-white enamel. There are three pernette marks arranged in a triangle on the reverse. The enamel on the face is shiny. There is a blue-painted mark below the base: X.; The decoration is hand-painted in dark blue on the face of the object. The painted decoration is animal-like, in the Kraak style from China. The inner surface of the object is entirely decorated. There is a wide painted fillet near the rim. The rim and wall are decorated with compartments, divided into two alternating types. The larger compartments are trapezoidal in shape, with rounded upper corners and a simple fillet around the outer rim. Each houses a large oval flower with leafy stem. Between these compartments are tongues of the same length, but narrower than the compartments. They are delimited by two wide vertical bands. The tongues are adorned with a central pearl between three small pearls arranged in a triangle, the whole surrounded by a line. The central decoration is encircled by a double ring, within which are two concentric octagons with pointed corners; the space between the two is in reserve. The space outside the octagons is painted blue. The main decoration consists of a lake scene, featuring an insect seen in profile, probably a grasshopper, standing on a rock; it is surrounded by long, leafy, flowering plants.
