Detailed pictures of plate

Hi peter & james i have taken more detailed pics of plate. on close inspection i can see tiny particles of dirt under the glaze. as you can see in a pic. Looking closely at the donkeys head at a glance it appears to have 2 heads. look again and you see 1. i find this rather bizarre. Does anybody else see this ? its almost like an optical illustion. Iam also very curious about the unusual almost bevelled shape of the plate as i have taken a good pic on one of my recent posts. Why wasent it disguarded/rejected and thrown away ?. Or was it commom practice to have miss shapen plates ?. its obvious this happend during the firing process. i havent seen another example of this. does this make the plate unique. Or just poor quality ?. I would appreciate any bodys opinion regarding this, The foot rim has glaze up to the rim. then stops. again on the inner side. no glaze on the rim its self. James glad you pointed out that the leaves {as i desribed} are actally Bats. yes of cource they are. Hope some body can help with all my questions. Thank you jackie.
