Polychromed dish or platter, molded and turned, covered with glassy tin-glazed enamel, which is now crackled. In the center, there is a female portrait in profile with the application of the traditional colors of Ventosa's palette. The face of the woman in profile occupies the entire central part of the piece, it is perfectly outlined, painted freehand in blue, green and orange and black, and framed by the edge of the piece in cobalt blue.
The platter may belong to the series of women in profile from the nineteen-twenties made by Enrique Luis Ventosa Fina while he worked at Uriarte, in this case, the profile is very similar to "The Lady from Cordoba", by English painter George Owen Wynne Apperley, a contemporary of Ventosa.
The platter recaptures the shape and measurements of the pieces made by Ventosa, his polychrome palette and the figure of the woman in profile. It also has glassy tin-glazed enamel, the firing imprint from the tripods and the signature in light blue, very similar to that of Uriarte in the nineteen-twenties. However, it is only signed by the Uriarte workshop, so Ventosa either did not sign it by mistake or it is the work of another artist under his supervision.
