Plate
The plate is complete; there are some chips around the rim and some breaks have been repaired with wire. The plate is circular with a plain rim. The rim slopes slightly inwards, the wall 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 plate is broken and has been repaired with wire. The plate is pierced by five pairs of drilled holes, which accommodate groups of fine wires. There are traces of wear on the inner base ; The decoration is hand-painted in dark red and faded underglaze, with gold highlights on the glaze. It is floral in style. The decoration is painted on the inner rim, wall and base. The decoration on the rim is encircled by a fillet drawn in red near the rim and close to the wall. It consists of two pairs of alternately repeated groups of elements. One group features a large central flower, painted in red and faded red and edged with leaves, from which two leafy, flowering stems extend. The other group consists of a bundle of rectangular, knotted books, emblematic of the Clerics or Literati of Imperial China, whose school is Confucianism, and from which extend two leafy, flowering stems. The decoration on the wall consists of a braid traced in red and trimmed with a spiked lattice, interrupted by four zones adorned with two groups of leafy stems placed alternately and bordered by pairs of arcs. The background is decorated with a leafy, flowering stem, garnished with a variety of flowers, the main one painted red and gold, with others in faded red. The whole is trimmed with leaves and scrolls traced in red and arranged to form a disk. The rim of the plate is covered with an iron-brown coating.
