Place of origin |
Plate of fritware, with brown rim, painted in blue with black outline under a clear glaze. Inside, a lion, a bird and a deer stride towards the right above a succession of ponds, balustrades and a pouting bird. The upper half of the plate appears to have been painted upside down, so that the tree with its leaves hangs down towards the beasts. A plain celadon-coloured glaze covers the outside.
