Place of origin

A slightly bracketed rim, with the flange and well painted with six panels alternating a goose in flight above a mound with two tufts of grass, and two flowery branches encompassing an insect. In the centre a doe, rump in the air, appears to be jumping onto some rocks. To the right a balustrade with a lotus finial is placed on top of the rocks. Above a spotted Kraak cloud has three hanging tufts, and a bird in flight fills the remaining space to the left. On the outside six panels with a neat leafy flower, are finalised towards the rim by a loose bracket.
