ROUND EARTHENWARE SAUCER WITH REFLECTIONS. INITIALS VV

Description:
- Small circular saucer, of good quality, with a perimeter rim 1 cm high and 1.7 cm wide. The saucer is made of beige enamelled earthenware, with metallic lustre decoration of acceptable quality, probably made in Manises (Valencia - Spain), in the first half of the 20th century.
- The saucer is of medium thickness, with no sound to the touch. The beige enamel is very thick, which gives it a high quality.
- On the upper side, the metallic lustre decoration forms a symmetrical pattern on two perpendicular axes, topped by a border all around the perimeter.
- On the underside of the dish there is no pattern of any kind, with the beige enamel showing in all its splendour, and the three marks of the firing support. It bears the signature 'V.V.' in gilding.
- On the rim there is a small, rectangular rim, which is rarely found on ceramic dishes.
- We think that this dish has three stages of firing. The first stage involves firing the virgin earthenware in the kiln. In a second phase, the dish is fired with the application of the yellowish-beige glaze. And a third phase in which the dish is fired again with the application of the metallic lustre paint.
- All these characteristics that the small plate has, provide a very interesting patina, with a very attractive and quality appearance.
- The fact that the object has a distinctive mark or contrast is of great importance in order to be able to identify data such as its maker, the place where it was made and other details.
