Plate
The plate is complete; there are some cracks around the rim. The plate is circular with a plain rim. The rim slopes slightly inwards, the sides are socked and the bottom is flat and recessed. The plate rests on a small milled foot that is free of glaze. In cross-section, the plate is slightly deformed ; The decoration is hand-painted in underglaze blue. It is of the scenic Chinese garden and animal type. The painted decoration is visible on the bottom and extends to the inner wall and rim. The décor consists of a multi-panelled fence atop a masonry and brick terrace. The fence is made of low vertical posts and panels adorned with a pair of swastikas; the panels are arranged in an angular U-shape. The fence closes off a courtyard lined with tall bamboo plants. The terrace appears to rest on the shore of a body of water, which separates it from a small island. The island is socked in with shrubs. It is home to two birds, probably ducks, while a third is about to join the other two on the island, from the sky.
