Plate
The plate is complete; there are small chips around the rim and a break has been repaired with metal studs. It is circular in shape with a plain rim. On the front, the rim 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 white glaze. There are three traces of a pernette in a triangular pattern on the reverse. The enamel on the front is shiny. The enamel around the rim has partially disappeared. There are nine spikes, made of a double iron wire, the ends of which are inserted into as many pairs of holes drilled in the reverse of the plate. There is a mark painted in blue in two registers below the base: IL 2; The decoration is hand-painted in two-tone cobalt blue underglaze and iron red overglaze. It is of the scenic vegetal type, with a Chinese garden motif. The decoration is found on the marli and on the background. The decoration on the marli is surmounted by a line near the edge and is composed of two motifs repeated in alternation. One is a red-painted tracery bead, from which fan-shaped stems emerge, bordered by blue-painted scrolls. The other motif is a three-lobed shape decorated with red fan-shaped leaves in reserve on a blue background. The background is encircled by a triple ring surrounded by a row of paired scrolls. The main decoration is a garden, featuring a blue-painted fence with a vertical post topped by a trifoliate head, the panels of which are double ovals adorned with a red-painted core. At the rear is a stylized rock with a hole, symbolizing the Chinese philosophy of Taoism, traced in red and painted blue, from which emerge leafy stems painted in blue and red, as well as flowers traced and painted in red. To the left is a gable-roofed building, outlined in red and painted blue. An insect, traced in red and painted blue, twirls above.
