Private:
Circular plate with shallow convex well and broad, flattened rim. White tin-glaze painted in-glaze with mythological scene depicting Perseus and Andromeda. Naked Andromeda is tied to a tree, in the branches of which sits a heraldic crest, comprised of a coat of arms 'checky argent and azure' surmounted by a cardinal's hat and surrounded by small armorial banners. Perseus stands to the right, carrying aloft the head of the sea monster and standing on its decapitated body, a figure of Cupid in the air above him. Andromeda's parents, Cepheus and Cassiope, stand to the left hiding amongst trees, whilst a second figure of Perseus crouches behind his shield on a rocky outcrop above them. Renaissance city visible in the distant background. Three concentric yellow circles painted on underside.
