A plate is regarded as ornamental when, at the same time:
1. it has on its outside face a decorative design (flowers, plants, landscapes, animals, people, mythological figures, symbols or reproductions of works of art or religious works, etc.) which by reason of the area covered makes it obviously suitable for ornamentation; and
2. it is not part of a table service; and
3. it meets one or more of the following conditions:
(a) it is pierced right through its outer edge by one or more holes designed for passing an attachment for hanging;
(b) it is imported with its stand which is suitable for its display and cannot be used separately;
(c) it is of a shape, dimension or weight which obviously makes it unsuitable to serve a useful purpose;
(d) the material used for its manufacture or decoration (paint, metal, in particular) makes it unsuitable for culinary or alimentary use;
(e) its useful surface is not smooth (thus making cleaning difficult).
