Plate
The plate is complete; a break has been repaired with glue. It is circular in shape, with a plain rim. On the front, the marli 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 pernette marks in a triangular pattern on the reverse. The enamel is shiny. The enamel around the rim has partially disappeared. There are four pairs of drilled holes on the reverse of the plate, and one of the holes goes through the bottom. The decoration is hand-painted in polychrome in cobalt blue, underglaze, and orange, violet, yellow and green overglaze. Vegetal and floral motifs. The decoration is found on the marli, on the wall and on the base. The main decoration consists of three long identical stems arranged in a triangle: they are composed of a central flower traced in blue and painted in orange and yellow, which is bordered by long stems traced in blue and trimmed with leaves painted in blue and green; three leafy stems traced in blue and painted in green and yellow, also arranged in a triangle, emerge from the wall. The decoration on the wall consists of a double fillet at its junction with the marli, and a single fillet at its junction with the background. The background features a blue and violet-painted rock with a hole in it, symbolizing the Chinese philosophy of Taoism, from which emerges a bamboo plant painted blue and green, as well as a long blue leafy stem with green-painted leaves and two blue flowers painted orange and yellow.
