About this work

Porcelain plate, painted on the glaze in blue, red, pink, purple, black, and gold. On the flat surface the coat of arms of the Lovelace family divided into two parts separated by a crenellated border. 1. three birds against a black background; 2. a half-moon on a red background. The crest is an eagle surrounded by acanthus leaves; the coat of arms is flanked by two figures in classical dress. Below the coat of arms a scroll with the inscription 'PRAEMIUM VIRTUTIS HONOR'. On the inner rim a spearhead border. On the underside an old label with 'Lovelace'. Heraldic porcelain with enamel colors.
