Plate
The plate is incomplete; a small gap in the rim has been filled with repainted plaster. It is circular with a plain rim. The rim is wide and sloping towards the bottom, while the side is low and curved towards the bottom, which is flat. On the reverse, the plate rests on a milled foot, the base of which is unglazed. The bottom is flat and recessed. The wall is separated from the marli by a bearing. There are three pernette marks in a triangular pattern. The enamel is shiny and has small needle holes on the reverse of the plate. The enamel around the rim has partially disappeared ; The decoration is hand-painted in cobalt blue, underglaze. It is of an oriental scenic type, with a garden motif. The decoration is found on both the rim and the base. The design on the marli is a braid filled with a row of inclined lines with pearls. The background motif is a garden with tree and fence. It rests on a terrace and is composed of two fence sections with posts, the sections adorned with a beaded wavy cross. To its right is a stylized rock with a hole, a symbol of the Chinese philosophy of Taoism, behind which rise leafy stems, including bamboo. To the left is a large peony-like flower, surrounded by leafy stems, and a willow tree. There’s also an iron-brown coating around the edge of the plate.
