About this object
The center of the plate is decorated with a printed scene of the Great Cascade at Pavlovsk. The bridge that is visible is probably not the Cast Iron Bridge designed by Rossi in 1823. A classical sculpture on a tall pedestal is visible in the distance on the right. The scene is surrounded by a series of borders: a solid gold border, followed by a slightly mottled pink translucent glaze border, and finally a laurel leaf border in gold on a white ground along the rim.
