"זאת נדבים שמואל יעקב ב"ר)בן רבי( בושה בצלאל הכהן ו"ז)וזוגתו( מרת חיי גיטעל בת ר')רבי( ארי' דוב הלוי תחי"
"This is a donation of Samuel Jacob son of Rabbi Busha Bezalel Ha-Cohen and his wife Mrs. Haia Gitel Daughter of Rabbi Arie Dov Ha-Levi may she live (a long life)".
The rim of the plate is decorated with a pattern of foliate scrolls.
