On either side of the rim, the platter features two nymphs pouring water from an amphora, taken from Jean Goujon's sculptures on the Fontaine des Innocents in Paris. The upper and lower parts of the rim are adorned with a garland of plants and two cherub heads.
Good overall condition, with some holes and cracks (see photos). A hanging loop on the back.
