Plate
The plate is complete; it has a long crack. It is circular 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 appears on the front and back of the plate. It is of the scenic Chinese animal type. The decoration can be found on the marli, on the wall and on the base. The decoration on the border consists of four identical groups of plants, placed in a cross: a central flower bordered by flowering stems and foliage. The decoration on the wall is a braid encircled by a double fillet; it consists of a double cross with points, interrupted by a flower bordered by scrolls between arcs-de-circle. The background features an angular terrace supporting a fence, the sections of which are adorned with swastika and on which a bird is standing. At one end of the fence is a stylized rock with a hole, symbolizing the Chinese philosophy of Taoism, surmounted by a flower, and at the other end a shrub adorned with large flowers, including a peony. On the reverse, the wall is decorated with three wavy stems arranged in a triangle. The rim of the plate is trimmed with a yellowish-brown coating.
