Plate
The plate is complete; only a few small chips are missing from the rim and it has been repaired with spikes. The plate is circular with a plain rim. The rim slopes slightly inwards, the wall is low and the base is flat. The plate rests on a small milled foot, located in line with the outer wall, which is slightly curved and free of glaze. The plate has a few chips on the rim. The plate has a break that has been repaired with copper metal spikes. The break is surrounded by six pairs of circular holes drilled on the reverse. The plate is repaired with five copper metal studs, made from a rod, each inserted into a pair of small holes. One pair of holes has lost its spike. The decoration is hand-painted in blue underglaze and red overglaze, with touches of gilding, in the Imari style. It is of the lacustrian type. The painted decoration is visible on the marli, on the wall and on the inner background. The frieze consists of three groups of leafy, flowering stems arranged in a triangle; they are traced and painted in blue under glaze. Two flowers, including the central one, present on these three stems have been traced in red and painted in gold. The entire space between these three branches has been covered with a decoration traced and painted in red with gold. It consists of three large flowers traced in red and painted in red and gold, from which volutes emerge. The space between these flowers has been filled with scrolls and small flowers traced and painted in red and trimmed with gilding. The wall is adorned with a frieze made up of two distinct elements, each reproduced four times and arranged crosswise; the frieze is traced and painted in red with gilding and is bordered at the top by a double ring. One of the elements consists of a diamond lattice adorned with a central flower. This lattice is interrupted by a central flower surrounded by double arcs, painted in red and gold. The central decoration is surrounded by a double ring in blue. It consists of a shoreline and a large rock, outlined and painted in blue. The shoreline is composed of large rocks, with trees and a mountain rising above them. The rocks are enhanced with gold, while leaves and flowers traced and painted in red have been added to the trees. A small figure is drawn in profile to the left between the trees, outlined in blue and painted red. He is heading towards a dwelling topped by an oriental-style roof and standing on stilts. The building has two windows, and a figure can be seen in the main one. The building is outlined in blue and painted red. At the foot of the building sails a small boat, complete with cabin and pilot, outlined in blue and painted red. In the foreground are rocks lined with trees. The rocks are enhanced with gilding, while leaves and flowers, outlined and painted in red, have been added to the trees. The rim of the plate is covered with iron-brown plaster.
