Saucer
The saucer is complete. It is circular in shape. The wall is slightly flared at the top, and the rim is straight. The wall curves at the base towards the sock, which is flat. It rests on a ring-shaped foot, with a bevelled outer rim. The underside of the base is recessed and features two concentric incised rings. The bottom glaze, near its junction with the foot, has been wiped clean. There is a mark printed in blue below the base: C, a cross-hatched crescent. The inner background is lightly dulled; the transfer printed, hand-painted decoration is blue with a Fence motif. The painted decoration is located below the inner edge: it consists of two superimposed horizontal lines. The printed design is visible on the inner background. The main motif consists of a fence made up of several sections: some are straight, while others are arranged in a zig-zag pattern. The fence sections are cross-hatched, with a small, three-lobed opening in the center. A rock borders the fence to the right. Leafy and flowering plant stems of varying scales adjoin the fence, including a long stem extending upwards; they are cross-hatched. To the left of the fence is a long shell rock. To the left is an island, elongated and cross-hatched. It is topped by a hut with a domed straw roof, and adjoined by three trees; a stepped rock borders the island at water level. Waves made of horizontal lines strike the island and the rock. At the foot of the island stand two stylized plant elements and three small emerging rocks. At the top of the island fly two birds, seen in profile to the left. Their wings point up and down.
