Dish of tin-glazed earthenware, painted. A flying bird in the centre surrounded by two butterflies, four insects and a number of leaf and plant motifs painted in yellow, blue and manganese-purple. Two purple lines at the rim. Part of the rim shows signs of localised over-firing. Three stilt marks on the front (9.3 cms point to point).
Body colour: Dark buff. Glaze: Matt duck egg blue on the front. A shiny lead-glaze with darker streaks radiating from the foot over a pale slip with some areas of greenish blue tin-glaze at the rim covers the entire back with the exception of small areas within the foot-rim. Foot-rim wiped almost entirely clean of glaze.
Shape: Shape B without groove at rim. Foot-rim pierced with one hole before firing. (Alphabetic shape codes as used in appendix to Archer. Delftware. 1997)
