Description

A jug with a flared, funnel-shaped mouth, a strap handle and a dark, glossy body, photographed upright against a pale backdrop. On the rounded body a figure in light paint wears a short garment and holds a curling stem, with a pale band and scroll ornament below. Chips show at the rim and body, with cracks and glaze losses, and handwritten notes are visible on the mount.
