Plate
The plate is complete. The plate is circular with a plain rim. The rim slopes slightly inwards, the wall is socked and the base is flat and recessed. The plate rests on a small milled foot, located in line with the outer wall and free of glaze. The decoration is hand-painted in blue underglaze and red overglaze, with touches of gilding, in the Imari style. The decoration is vegetal and landscaped. The painted decoration is visible on the marli, on the wall and on the inner background. The decoration on the marli is composed of the same group of floral elements, repeated three times and arranged in a triangle. 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, interrupted by a central flower traced and painted in red and gold, and surrounded by double arcs, traced and painted in blue. The central decoration is encircled by a ring traced in blue and features a plant scene resting on a triangular terrace. The terrace is outlined in blue and painted in faded red. In the center of the terrace stands a perforated rock, symbolizing the Chinese philosophy of Taoism, traced and painted in blue with gilding. Behind the rock, a leafy, flowering shrub and a leafy, flowering seedling. They are traced and painted in blue with gilding, and trimmed with leaves traced in red and painted in red and gold.
