Saucer
The saucer is complete. It is circular in shape. The wall is flared at the top, and the rim is plain. The wall curves at the base towards the sock, which is flat. It rests on a ring-shaped foot. The underside of the base is recessed and flat. There are some flaws in the glaze on the bottom; the decoration is painted and applied by overglaze printing (Bat printed). The painted decoration is gilded, and the printed decoration is black with an English romantic or rural motif. The printed decoration is visible on the inner background. The background features a romantic scene of water between two banks. The bank in the foreground is covered with low vegetation and a tall tree on the left; a man seated on a rock observes another standing opposite him, holding a fishing line in his hands. The water features a central island, covered with shrubs and trees. The shoreline in the background reveals a gigantic Georgian neo-classical stone building, probably a manor house; it is overhung by clouds. There’s a fillet of gilding on the edge.
