Plate
The plate is complete; there are some small chips around the rim and some breaks have 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 eleven copper metal studs, the ends of which are inserted in as many pairs of holes drilled in the reverse of the plate; nine other pairs of holes are free of studs and filled with plaster. At least six pairs of holes pass through the wall. There is a blue painted mark under the bottom: 8. There are slight defects on the inner bottom. There are numerous wear marks on the underside of the base ; The decoration is hand-painted in two-tone cobalt blue underglaze and iron red overglaze. The decoration is vegetal and geometric, with a flowerpot. The decoration is on the marli and on the background. The decoration on the marli is a wide braid bordered by a blue-painted line and a red-painted double line; it is made of a latticework traced in red and trimmed with blue-painted pearls. It is interrupted by two alternately repeated motifs. One of the motifs is trifoliate; painted blue, it is surrounded by a red line, and supports a small trifoliate motif framed by curved stems. The other motif is a half-oval made up of three concentric lines painted blue and decorated with radiating lines in red; it supports the same trifoliate motif. The background is decorated with a central medallion consisting of a triple ring, whose circumference is decorated with trifoliate motifs, all painted blue. The central motif is a pear-shaped pot with two vertical handles, painted blue with a reserved body decorated with red lines. From the pot emerge leafy stems painted in blue and red, and trifoliate motifs painted in blue.
