Notes
A small round dish of quartz paste (frit) with a shallow bottom, a wide upturned rim, and a low, annular base. The plate was decorated with seven bouquets, one of which was in the middle surrounded by the remaining six. The flowers were drawn simply, and the colors were very pure, consisting of red, green, blue and black. The border has a band of white, tapering shapes on a green background, and the contrast of the white and green chips is increased by a narrow blue line.
