Plate
The plate is complete; there is a crack on the bottom. The plate is circular with a plain rim. The rim slopes slightly inwards, the wall is low 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 marli and on the internal background. The frieze consists of a narrow braid underlined by a ring and decorated with a latticework of alternating X’s and rhombuses. It is interrupted at regular intervals by a plant group whose heart appears to be a pomegranate adorned with latticework, while the leaves are painted dark blue. The central decoration is encircled by a double ring. It consists of an uneven terrace painted in faded blue, supporting a huge central willow tree. The tree is flanked by two large leafy flowering plants, one of which appears to be adorned with a large peony. The perimeter of the plate is covered with iron-brown plaster.
