Plate

The plate rests on six small feet; a round lobe in the centre of the plate is surrounded by six similar-sized lobes. White paste, white slip, transparent glaze. Underglaze decoration in green, cobalt blue, manganese purple and brownish red with black outlines. The rim of the plate is framed in a border of small spirals. The centre of the lobe is decorated with a seraph whose face has been lost in the restoration; the surrounding lobes are decorated with serrated-edged leaves surrounding foliate motifs that resemble lotus blossoms; the six triangular spaces between the lobes are decorated alternately with seraphim and floral sprays.
