Description

About forty small vessels are arranged in three horizontal rows on a dark board. Most are juglets and jugs with round or globular bodies, narrow necks and loop handles, and many have painted bands or lines on the surface. Some are taller and slender, and a few are flatter or more rounded. A decorative printed border runs along the left edge of the album page.
