Plate
The plate is complete; a crack has been consolidated with an iron spike. It is circular in shape with an undulating rim. The rim is slightly swollen on the face. The marli slopes slightly inwards, while the sock’s low wall curves towards the slightly domed bottom. On the reverse, the plate rests on a small ring-shaped foot. The bottom is recessed and flat. The glaze has lost much of its sheen. The printed decoration must originally have been black. A crack has been consolidated by means of a spike made from a double rod of rusted iron, the ends of which are inserted into a pair of holes drilled in the reverse of the plate’s rim. A ring of iron rust runs along the crack on the face and reverse of the plate; the decoration is molded and applied by transfer printing. The molded decoration is perceptible on the rippled contour of the plate and on the marli near the rim, in the Feather edged pattern. The decoration is brown with an animal motif (Exotic birds). The printed decoration is visible on the inner border and on the inner background. The design on the inside wall consists of a reduced version of the design on the back, i.e. two birds seen in profile on a grassy terrace, flown over by a bird. The background consists of two peacocks seen in profile on a grassy terrace with a fenced hedge on the left and a tall tree on the right, flown over by birds. The background is clean.
