Painted with a figure carrying a tray and a basket, the rim with a gilt border, 23.2cm diam., impressed D V / N mark

Footnotes

The decoration is taken from 'Le Antichità di Ercolano Esposte' (Antiquities of Herculaneum Exposed) published between 1757-1798 showing the findings of the excavations at Pompeii and Herculaneum. It depicts a dancing maenad with a situla (bucket) and a patera (saucer-shaped dish) in the Villa di Cicerone (Menade danzante con situla e patera).
