Saucer
The saucer is complete; some breaks have been repaired with glue. It is circular in shape. The wall is flared at the top, the rim straight and the top of the rim 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; the decoration is hand-painted in polychrome of blue underglaze and red, green, black and gold overglaze. The painted decoration covers the rim, wall and inner base. It features a Chinese garden motif (Redgrave). Beneath the inner rim is a blue-traced braid, decorated with two alternating motifs: a string of pearls with a central core painted in blue, and a vegetal motif bordered by spirals and a broad line painted in red, framed between arcs-de-circle painted in blue. The backdrop consists of a garden, with an uneven terrace painted red and green, on top of which is a blue-painted rock with gold highlights and blue and red-painted bamboo stalks, flanked by a red-painted fence with swastika panels, behind which rise blue-painted leafy stems and green-painted black stems adorned with red-painted flowers.
