Plate
The plate is complete; the glaze around the rim has disappeared. It is circular with a plain rim. On the front, the rim slopes towards the bottom, and the low wall curves towards the slightly domed bottom. On the reverse, the plate is truncated cone-shaped with a small, slightly concave central base. The body is beige, and the object is covered with a bluish-white glaze. There are three traces of a pernette in a triangular pattern on the reverse. The plate is slightly wobbly; the decoration is hand-painted in blue and black or very dark blue underglaze. It is oriental and floral in style. The decoration is painted on the inner rim, wall and base. The decoration on the marli extends over the wall and is surrounded by a blue fillet. It consists of two pairs of slightly different motifs in different formats, placed alternately. They consist of a stylized rock with a hole, symbolizing the Chinese philosophy of Taoism, which rests on the inner netting and from which emerge long, leafy, flowering stems. The background decoration is encircled by a ring; it consists of a stylized rock with a hole, symbolizing the Chinese philosophy of Taoism, which rests on the inner net and from which emerge long leafy stems in bloom.
