Plate
The plate is complete, with the exception of small chips near the rim. It is circular in shape, with a straight, wavy rim. The rim is thick, with an inward-sloping brim, and the wall is low and curved towards the flat bottom. On the reverse, it rests on a small ring-shaped foot. The center is recessed and flat. On the reverse of the plate, there are three pernette marks arranged in a triangle. The inner base shows small linear marks. There is an area below the bottom with a group of intersecting linear marks ; The decoration is molded and hand-painted in pale cobalt blue, underglaze. It is of the Chinese house type. The molded decoration is visible on the rim. The rim is corrugated and the marli is decorated with curved grooves from the edge (Shell-eged). A band has been painted in blue on the molded border, close to the edge. The decoration on the wall consists of a ribbon underlined by a line and trimmed with a double lattice with internal spikes. The background features an undulating terrace with an oriental-style house on top. The house is seen from the front, its wall pierced by a door surmounted by a row of lines. The roof is double-sloped and topped by a stepped tower, each storey with a double-sloped roof; the top is topped by a complex mast. This house is adjoined by a fence, made of two distinct parts. The panels are adorned with a double lattice on the left and vertical boards on the right; at the left end there is a section sloping downwards, made of a sloping top beam and vertical boards. Various grasses and trees rise behind and beyond the fence sections. There are birds in flight in the sky and two empty spheres. The terrace is underlined by a row of four triangles made of superimposed lines pointing downwards. Below this row are three terraces like the first, the central one supporting a central grassy rock surrounded by sections of fence. A small portion of the background is blurred.
