Saucer
This saucer is complete. It is circular in shape, with a plain rim. The wall is slightly inclined, then curves towards the bottom, which is flat. It rests on a small annular base, and the bottom is recessed and flat. There are numerous linear and wear marks on the inner base; the decoration is painted on the glaze, with gilding highlights on the glaze, as well as applied by polychrome decalcomania on the glaze. The decoration is on the wall and on the back. The decoration on the wall is close to the rim and at its junction with the background. The decoration near the rim is a horizontal band painted in blue and surrounded by gold; it is interrupted at regular intervals by a flower in orange-red. The ribbon is surmounted by a row of small pearls painted red. Beneath the ribbon is a row of overlapping semi-circles, open at the top and with a central point in red. From this row hang two types of overlapping garlands: one is made of red pearls whose size increases towards the center, while the other is made of red leafy stems covered with green highlights. A second garland of red dots hangs from the first. These garlands cover the wall and part of the background. There is a fillet of gilding around the perimeter of the saucer, but it has largely faded.
