Plate
The plate is complete, with a crack and glaze chips around the rim. The plate is circular with a plain rim. The rim slopes slightly inwards, the side is socked and the bottom is flat and recessed. The plate rests on a small milled foot that is free of glaze ; The decoration is hand-painted in underglaze blue. It is vegetal in style. The painted decoration is visible on the inner rim. The marly decoration is composed of three groups of plant and flower motifs, with a central half-flower painted in faded blue, arranged in a triangular pattern. The central decoration consists of an uneven terrace painted in faded blue, supporting a pierced rock, symbolizing the Chinese philosophy of Taoism, traced and painted in dark blue. Behind, bamboo plants with dark-blue leaves and leafy, flowering plants grow.
