DESCRIPTIVE DATA
----------------
object type: Pale cream-coloured earthenware covered in a clear lead-glaze and painted overglaze with coloured enamels. The plate has a six-lobed wavy rim with a double moulded line around the edge. Each lobe is painted with red, yellow and blue bands around the edge and yellow scrolls, green leaves and a red cross in the centre. The scene in the middle of the plate shows the Prodigal Son standing in a pig pen; to his left are two pigs cramming their heads into a trough and to his left are a standing and a seated pig. His clothes look ragged, especially his breeches, which have a zigzag edge, as if torn. In the background are trees and a red-and-white marble effect archway. Beneath the scene is the title: ‘POVERTΫ’. Marked on the base with impressed lozenge.
object type: Lead-glazed creamware painted in enamels with scene from the parable of the Prodigal Son.
