Saucer
The saucer is complete; there is a small chip on the rim on the reverse. It is circular in shape. The wall is flared at the top, and the rim is slightly flared. The wall curves at the base towards the sock, which is flat. It rests on a wide ring-shaped foot. The underside of the base is recessed and flat. The foot is beveled and free of glaze. The decoration covers the outer face of the saucer, as well as the inner rim and base. The decoration is floral and of the external brown coating type, known as Batavia. It is hand-painted in underglaze blue. The ribbon under the inner rim is decorated with a row of triangles made of inclined lines. The decoration on the inner base consists of a small double medallion bearing the same decoration repeated three times and arranged in a triangular pattern. It features a small domed terrace painted blue, supporting long, wavy, leafy stems with a central flower. The medallion surrounds a small leafy, flowering stem. The entire outer surface is covered with a shiny, iron-based brown plaster, which also covers the top of the rim.
