Leaf-shaped dish. Hard-paste porcelain painted on the biscuit in an enamel palette of blue, yellow, iron-red, turquoise, aubergine and two tones of green with details in black and gilding. Part of a large supper set, the dish is of asymmetrical four-sided form, tapered towards the slightly countersunk base. The galleried rim has a narrow flat top decorated with a turqoise ground cracked-ice border pencilled in black and set at regular intervals with blue and white flowerheads. The centre has a panel of the same shape as the dish enclosing a scene of a butterfly hovering near sprays of red, blue, yellow and aubergine chrysanthemum growing amongst grasses behind jagged rockwork. The sides on the interior and exterior, the rims and the base are all smeared with a colourless, faintly iridescent glaze.
