About this work
Round dish of lead-glazed earthenware, on three shell-shaped feet. The dish is decorated in white slip, with two identical birds facing each other on the flat surface. Under the birds a tree branch is painted with the year 1607. Above the birds a hanging pomegranate is painted with a flower branch with leaves on the left and right. On the rim rosettes are painted alternating with S-shaped motifs. The dish is covered with locally green-tinted lead glaze.
