Plate
The plate is complete, with only a few small chips missing from 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, located in line with the outer wall and free of glaze. The inside of the foot shows a small burr of paste that has not been removed after the foot has been shaped with a tool; the decoration is hand-painted in blue underglaze and red overglaze, with touches of gilding, in the Imari style. The decoration is vegetal. The painted decoration is visible on the inner rim and inner base, as well as on the reverse of the rim. The marli’s decoration is surrounded by a blue fillet near the edge and a double fillet painted near the wall. It features four groups of leafy stems outlined and painted in blue underglaze, with gold highlights. All these stems are garnished with flowers, leaves and ribbons traced and painted in red with gold highlights. The central decoration consists of two long leafy and flowery stems, similar to each other and to those adorning the marli. The rim of the plate is covered in gilding. On the reverse, the marli is decorated with two similar elements, consisting of a central flower traced and painted in blue, on either side of which emerge scrolls traced in blue and garnished with flowers traced and painted in red. This design is surrounded by a double ring near the foot.
