Saucer dish. Hard-paste porcelain painted in an enamel palette of turquoise, aubergine, iron-red, yellow, blue and two tones of green, with details in black and gilding. The shallow, well rounded sides are resting on a low and tapered foot and gently flared towards the lipped rim. The interior is boldly painted with three figures standing in a rocky open landscape, a mandarin holding a child on his back watching a brigand with tatoos on his arms and back raising his left fist at a warrior flanked by two miniature yellow horses; the mandarin and brigand are labelled with their names pencilled in black. The underside is applied with a pale turquoise-green enamel thickening around the rim and in the angle of the foot.
