Plate
The plate is complete; some breaks have been repaired with metal studs. The plate is circular with a plain rim. The rim slopes slightly inwards, the wall is low and the bottom is flat. The plate rests on a small milled foot that is free of glaze, and the bottom is recessed. The reverse of the plate features five pairs of circular drilled holes, each holding a pair of copper metal spikes; each spike is made from a rod and inserted into a pair of small holes; the decoration is hand-painted in underglaze blue. It is of the vegetal type. The painted decoration can be seen on the marli, on the inner wall and background, and on the reverse of the marli. The marli is decorated with a double fillet close to the rim and two pairs of leafy and flowery groups arranged crosswise and alternating; the space between these groups is lined with leafy stems resting on the inner part of the marli. The decoration on the wall consists of two double fillets at the top and base. The central decoration is encircled by a double ring; it consists of a large rock with a hole in it, symbolizing the Chinese philosophy of Taoism, traced in blue and painted in faded blue. Behind the rock, leafy plants in bloom and a bamboo plant stand out. The marli is decorated on the reverse with two wavy, stylized stems. The rim of the plate is covered with an iron-brown coating.
