Saucer
The saucer is complete; a break has been repaired with glue. It is circular in shape. The wall is flared at the top, and the rim is tapered. The wall curves at the base towards the sock, which is flat. It rests on a rounded foot ring. The underside of the base is recessed and flat. The foot is beveled and free of glaze; The decoration is hand-painted in polychrome enamels in pink, orange, green, violet and black on glaze, with gold highlights. The design is floral, in the Famille rose style. The decoration is painted under the rim, on the wall and on the inner background. Under the rim, it consists of a trellis outlined in purple on a pink background. The lattice is cut around two different motifs, repeated alternately. One consists of two oval fan-shaped leaves painted in orange and bordered by acanthus leaves traced in violet and two flowers painted in pink and bordered by leaves traced in black and painted in green, while the other is a polylobed medallion traced in violet, housing three flowers painted in violet. The decoration in the center of the background is a group of flowers painted pink and violet, among leaves painted green with black highlights. It is surrounded by a double-ring medallion traced in red, which borders a row of spearheads alternating with the same motif, but without the head; the motifs are painted in gold. There is a fillet of gilding at the top of the rim.
