Plate
The plate is complete. It is circular in shape with a plain rim. On the front, the rim slopes slightly inwards, and the wall slopes 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 recessed and flat. The body is beige, and the object is covered with a bluish-white enamel. There are three traces of a pernette in a triangular pattern on the reverse. The enamel is shiny. The enamel around the rim has disappeared; the decoration is hand-painted in cobalt blue, underglaze. It is of the Chinese landscape type. The decoration can be found on the rim, on the wall and on the base. The border is decorated with a double-braided braid near the edge. The decoration on the wall is a braid composed of a double cross with a central cross, interrupted by a poly-lobed mass with pearls between arcs. The background is decorated with a perforated rock, symbolizing the Chinese philosophy of Taoism, from which emerge two leafy, flowering stems.
