Saucer
The saucer is complete; there are chips under the inner rim that have been painted over, and breaks have been repaired with metal studs. It is circular in shape. The wall is flared at the top, and the rim is straight. 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. Four copper metal studs are visible on both sides of the rim. The reverse features seven pairs of drilled holes holding the ends of the same number of copper metal studs ; The decoration is molded and hand-painted in blue underglaze and gold overglaze. The decoration is of the scenic lake type. The molded decoration is visible on the wall, which is undulated, and continues to the rim. The inner rim is adorned with a complex blue-painted decoration. It comprises a row of small vertical lines. This is followed by a blue-painted braid with a row of eight-pointed stars. This is followed by a braid with a wavy base and inclined lines. Gilding has been added on the top and under the inner edge. There is also a gold-painted fillet under the star-trimmed braid. Another gold fillet is painted under the last blue braid, bordering a row of semicircles with a central pearl. The main backdrop consists of an island supporting a pagoda with an annex and landing stage; a person stands at the window of the annex. The island is flanked by trees, including a willow. In the foreground is a rocky island with trees, and a small lean-to with a sloping roof. Two other islands appear in the background, one with a pagoda and the other with a house and high mountains. Two small boats sail between the islands.
