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. There are slight flaws on the face of the plate. The enamel around the rim has disappeared ; The decoration is hand-painted in cobalt blue, underglaze. It appears on the front and back of the plate. It is vegetal and floral. The decoration is found on the marli and on the base. The decoration on the border is surrounded by a fillet near the edge; it is composed of two different groups of plants, placed alternately in a cross: one consists of a central flower bordered by flowering stems and foliage, while the other consists of two flowers at one end of a long, leafy, flowering stem. The background features a massive horizontal root from which emerges a long, wavy, leafy, flowering stem, including a central flower similar to a peony. On the reverse, the wall is decorated with three wavy lines arranged in a triangle.
