Saucer
The saucer is complete, with cracks in the wall. It is circular in shape. The wall is flared at the top, the rim is straight and the top of the rim is plain and beveled on the outside. The wall curves at the base towards the sock, which is flat. It rests on an annular foot, the inside face of which is beveled; the underside of the bottom is recessed and flat. There is an incised ring under the bottom, with a small central nipple. The inner base has numerous linear marks; the decoration is hand-painted in cobalt blue, under glaze. It is of the Chinese house type. The decoration under the inner rim is a double lattice ribbon with central dashes; it is underlined by a fillet. The background features a terrace with an Oriental-style house topped by a tower. This is a three-quarter view of the house, with its gable wall and side wall. The gable wall has a door, as does the side wall. The roof is double-pitched, with a pillar at each end. It is topped by a vertical tower with a rectangular window covered by a flattened triangular roof; the center is topped by a straight vertical pole. The house is adjoined by a fence made of vertical boards and a horizontal beam. Various grasses and trees grow beyond the fence sections, including a willow tree on the right. Stylized birds twirl in the sky. The terrace is underlined by a row of four triangles made of superimposed lines and pointing downwards. Beneath them is another triangle supporting a central rock and stylized vegetation.
