Plate
The plate is complete; a break has been repaired with metal studs and glue. It is circular in shape, with a plain rim. On the front, the marli is narrow and inclined towards the bottom, and the low wall curves towards the flat bottom. On the reverse, the plate is frustoconical in cross-section, with a small, slightly concave central base. The reverse glaze 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 front is shiny. The enamel around the rim has partially disappeared. There is a mark painted in blue under the base, in two registers: * C B. There is a defect on the inner base. There are six pairs of drilled holes on the reverse of the wall, two of which have retained their metal studs and the others only traces of studs; only the pair of holes on the bottom cross the wall ; The decoration is hand-painted in cobalt blue, underglaze. It is of the Chinese scenic type. The decoration is found on the marli and on the back. The decoration on the marli is a wide braid; it is made of the same repeated motif, i.e. stems, one of which is long and recumbent, adorned with pearls and triangular leaves, bordered at each end by a wide arc-de-circle. The space between these motifs is adorned with a double latticework of internal spikes. The background decoration is encircled by a double ring. It consists of a Chinese lake scene: three individuals stand on a bank, beneath a tall pine tree, watching a fisherman seated in a boat, partly hidden by a pavilion with a sloping roof, and flown over by a wading bird. Behind the figures stands another standing on a checkerboard terrace. The reverse is decorated with three large concentric rings.
