Description

Dish. Hard-paste porcelain painted in green, iron-red, yellow, blue, turquoise and aubergine enamels with details in black, and gilding with five ladies and two children beside a fish-tank in a balustraded garden with a dense floral and patterned rim.

Dish. Hard-paste porcelain painted in green, iron-red, yellow, blue, turquoise and aubergine enamels with details in black, and gilding. The shallow rounded sides rest on a low tapered foot rising to a broad everted rim with a barbed edge. The interior has a large figure scene medallion showing two ladies lifting up their children to look into a tall ornamental fish-tank, three further ladies looking on, two holding open gilded fans, all in a balustraded garden with rockwork and jardinières. The cavetto is undecorated and the rim has alternating trellis, scale, florette and stippled borders in iron-red, yellow and green, strewn with exotic flowerheads and reserved with four vignettes of flowers growing behind rockwork and edged in green and blue scrolls. The base has two concentric circles in underglaze blue enclosing the mark.
