Plate
The plate is complete and has been repaired with metal studs. 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, located in line with the outer wall and free of glaze. The rim is slightly missing. The plate has three breaks that have been repaired with metal spikes. The reverse of the plate has eight pairs of drilled holes: six pairs still have copper metal studs running through them, while two pairs have lost their studs. The ends of three spikes are visible on the marli side ; The decoration is hand-painted in blue underglaze and red overglaze, with touches of gilding, in the Imari style. It features vegetal and animal medallions. The painted decoration is visible on the inner rim, inner wall and inner base, as well as on the reverse of the rim. The decoration is encircled by a ring drawn in blue near the rim. It is composed of three similar motifs painted on the marli and wall, arranged in a triangular pattern. In two cases, the central motif is a large vase. The vase is baluster-shaped in one case, and angular in the other; both vases are traced in blue and painted in faded red, and decorated, in reserve, with a leafy, flowering stem traced and painted in blue with highlights of gilding, as well as leaves and flowers traced and painted in red with touches of gilding. Both vases rest on a tripod traced and painted blue. The third piece resembles a wavy pennant with two wavy ribbons at the base; its treatment and decoration follow that of the vases. Each of these three elements is topped by a kind of parasol, traced in blue and painted in blue and red; from its ends hang two identical long floral pendants, traced in blue and painted in blue, red and gold. The space between these three elements is adorned with a leafy, flowering stem, traced and painted in blue, with flowers traced in red and painted in red and gold. The central element is a small circular medallion traced in blue, housing a scene with a hare, traced in blue and in profile on an undulating terrace adorned with rocks, traced and painted in blue. The scene is adorned with a tree traced and painted in blue, with leaves traced in red and painted in red and gold. The scene is completed by rocks in the background, traced and painted in blue and red. On the reverse, the border is decorated with two similar elements, consisting of a wavy leafy stem traced and painted in blue. The rim of the plate is covered with an iron-brown coating.
