Plate
Plate, earthenware, in the form of an ancient Greek patera, incised foot-rim, deeply curving sides, everted rim, incised lines around the exterior and interior rim; the decoration reserved against a black enamel ground so that the red earthenware body is revealed, this then transfer-printed in black with to the centre of the well the figure of a winged cupid reclining on a pile of draperies with a curving bow below, to the sides of the well and the rim a double border of anthemions within shield-shapes and a tooth-like pattern, all on a red ground.
