A graceful plate with a scalloped (?) edge and a concentric lattice circle that leads the eye into the very centre of the plate, each intersection of the lattice has a small red flower

From the Met description:
Plate, Manufactory Imperial Porcelain Manufactory, St. Petersburg Russian
1755–60
Hard-paste porcelain
This plate is from the factory's first table service, made for the empress about 1756–60. Every piece was decorated with a graceful molded trellis pattern, which suggests they were part of a dessert service, perhaps to be used in summer."

Image in the public domain

From the Met description:

Basin
Master Potter A
ca. 1650. tin glazed earthenware. Mexican.
Made by an artist who marked it with the initial “A,” this flat-bottomed lebrillo is decorated with a bold pattern of cobalt blue lines whose interstices are filled with fine black lines and dots that imitate lacework. The inscription encircling the rim of the basin indicates that it was made for the sole purpose of washing purificators, the altar linens used to wipe the Eucharistic chalice after Communion.
