Saucer-shaped Dish, Munson-Williams-Proctor Institute

A slightly mis-shapen study of a saucer-shaped diash, lit from the left and casting a slight shadow to right. The Thompson catalogue described the subject as one of two such dishes:

'No. 113. Two Saucer-shaped Dishes. Sharply drawn flowers and leaves painted in white enamel, which form a raised pattern on a ground of bright powder blue. The under part, as far as the foot, similar in colour and design; the centre panel surrounded by a white line; on the inner edge two similar lines. Mark, double ring and figure 15. Diameter, 13 inches.'
