Plate
ca. 1760 to 1780 (made)
| Artist/Maker | |
| Place of origin |
Of shallow, circular, form with somewhat irregular wavy edge, the rim curved up and outwards and moulded accordingly. The design is a rough transcription of that on a Chinese export famille rose plate, having in the centre a pink peony spray and, set round the cavetto, three sprays of flowering prunus in yellow and brownish-red; as well as other pink floral sprays. All these are enclosed within an irregular pointed, gilt-outlined frame resembling the Chinese leaf pattern, which, through the filling-in of the remainder of the rim as a 'birdseye' ground in brown is made to appear in reserve. The rim is gilt; also on the base are three spur marks.
