Oriental decoration (flowers) in cobalt blue. Dark blue leg (1 of 3 is preserved), The decoration resembles Kang-xi china saucers. The piece comes from archaeological excavations in Gdańsk, Poland. I am now working on a publication.

Looks like a small "sweat meat" serving tray from Jan Theunis Dextra at De Grieksche A in Delft 1758-1764.

I believe that a sweat meat tray was used for small sweetend delicacies such as fruits.

I have a similar tray from De Clauw, similar size and look and also with three feet, that I bought a couple of weeks ago.

Let me know if you need more information
