Description

Delftware plate with blue decoration in the form of a center scene of a bird, butterfly, and foliage with a border of floral and geometric designs: Waterbird stands in water in lower left of scene with a butterfly soaring over its head; tall flowering foliage grows at right and covers nearly half of the center (a bit grows at left); cross-hatched device (possibly a fence) reflected in the water; groupings of dots in sky; scene is surrounded by three concentric rings; series of wavy lines separate alternating motifs; one motif consists of three stems growing out of a grassy tripartite mound (two stems have petalled flowers and one has only foliage); the other motif of a tall inverted cone with a line running down the center of it on a tripartite mound (an abstract bud on leafed stem rises on either side of it); blue line at edge; three stilt marks and touches of blue on reverse; foot rim pierced to accommodate hanger.
