Saucer
The saucer is complete. 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 a ring-shaped foot, the inside face of which is beveled; the underside of the bottom is recessed and flat. There is an incised ring under the base, marked with a blue-painted X; 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 chain of alternating ovals and lozenges. The background features an undulating 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 features a door topped by an oriel window, while the side wall has a high opening. The roof is double-pitched, with a pillar at each end. It is topped by a vertical tower with a rectangular window and covered by a flattened triangular roof; the center is topped by a straight vertical pole. The house is flanked on the left by a trellis fence with a vertical post. Various grasses and trees grow behind and beyond the fence, including a pine tree on the right. Stylized birds twirl in the sky. The terrace is underlined by a row of four triangles made of superimposed lines pointing downwards. Beneath them, another triangle supports stylized plants.
