A Naples, Poulard Prad, tray, circa 1840

Of square shape with canted corners, decorated in the style of Giovine with Zeus holding a lightning bolt, his left arm around Ganymede holding a patera in his left hand, an eagle beside the god, standing on a curved ground above the star sign symbols for Leo, Cancer and Libra, all under a rim gilt, 29.5cm wide

Footnotes

Angela Caròla-Perrotti, Le Porcellane dei Borbone di Napoli (1986) plate 584b, publishes a similarly decorated tray which she says is likely to have been painted at home by one of the skilled artists.
