15. Saucer, Chinese porcelain. Gently sloping wall; 

 small footring; decoration in polychrome over-

 stroyed by a brown incrustation, a phenomenon 

 invariably associated with overglaze green after 

 long contact with the soil. The central floral deco- 

 ration makes use of the aforementioned colors and 

 is surrounded by a belt of red "basket" ornament. 

 The underside of the base bears a double ring in a 

 rich underglaze blue and part of an unidentifiable 

 mark in a deeper blue. Probably inid-18th cen-

 boo ornament on the exterior and red basket zone
