About this work

In the flat of the dish, which has a central boss in the middle, stamped with die-stamps: an umbo, which is surrounded by a repetition of seven times the motifs of a cup-shaped flower and a stylized cluster with three fruits or leaves, in front of a border with the GOTT SEI MIT UNS (?) (repeated four times). In the wall of the dish, 25 blown bubbles are worked. Furthermore, the rim of the dish is decorated with a ring of stamped ornament consisting of rosettes and leaves in the center and of leaves against the edge. The rim of the dish is wrapped around iron wire. The hole in the rim was added later. The central boss has become a small opening.
