Plate
The plate is complete; it is missing around the rim 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 plate has a break that has been repaired with metal studs. The reverse of the plate has three pairs of drilled holes: these pairs are still traversed by copper metal spikes. The ends of two spikes are visible on the face of the plate, and are riveted ; The decoration is hand-painted in blue underglaze and red overglaze, with touches of gilding, in the Imari style. It is of the oriental garden and landscape type. The painted decoration is visible on the inner rim, wall and background, as well as on the reverse of the rim. The decoration is encircled by a blue ring near the rim and wall. It consists of two pairs of similar floral elements painted on the marli. The central element is a leafy, flowering plant traced and painted in blue, with long, wavy side branches. Each is trimmed with leaves traced and painted in red with gold highlights. The decoration on the wall consists of a wide band traced in blue and adorned with two different elements arranged in alternation. The most important element is a trellis traced in red, at the center of which is a flower traced in red and painted in red and gold. It is interrupted by a central flower traced and painted in blue and red, and surrounded by double arcs, traced and painted in blue and red. The central decor features a garden scene, with a three-panel fence resting on the wall’s entablature, all traced and painted in blue. Behind the fence stand two bamboo plants and a leafy, flowering shrub. The shrub and one of the bamboos are outlined and painted blue, and are trimmed with leaves outlined in red and painted red. The central bamboo is outlined and painted red. On the reverse, the marli is decorated with two similar elements, consisting of a wavy leafy stem outlined and painted in blue. The rim of the plate is covered with an iron-brown coating.
