Charger, buff earthenware with a white tin-glaze, painted and sponged in-glaze in a polychrome palette with full-length portrait of unidentified king.
Private:
Deep circular charger with wide well, sloping sides, and prominent, slightly flared footring. Decorated with a bluish white tin-glaze, upper surface painted in cobalt blue, copper green, antimony yellow, iron brown and manganese purple-brown, with full length portrait of a king. The king, outlined in blue, wears blue armour, an ermine-trimmed brown cloak, manganese purple shoes with green bows, a yellow crown over manganese purple hair, and carries a brown and yellow orb and yellow sceptre. He stands in a field of alternating bands of yellow, streaked with fine iron brown dashes and green streaked with blue, with sponged green and blue two-tiered trees in background to left and right, flanking blue fence on horizon. White sky painted with pale blue clouds, colours mottled together in firing, narrow blue dash border with partial yellow wash to rim. Semi-circular patch over king's left shoulder where glaze has been accidentally wiped off, possibly by rim of another plate, three circular stilt marks in centre of well. Greyish glaze on underside uneven and scattered with air bubbles, three heavy patches mottled with colour around sides, picked up from another plate while stacked in kiln.
