Description

A handled pitcher with a tall, flaring neck and a squat, rounded body stands on a pale surface against a plain backdrop. Several horizontal bands run around the body, and the shoulder shows a break with a missing section near the neck. A black and white chequered scale rod stands upright to the right of the vessel. A watermark logo of a palm tree and the name Costas and Rita Severis Foundation overlays the image.
