Description

A round-bodied jug with a short neck and a strap handle rising from the shoulder to the rim stands on a plain grey backdrop. Its pale surface carries dark painted decoration: a long-necked bird with a hooked beak perched on a branch, a flower on a stem, and bands of lines at the neck. The number 754 is painted on the lower body, and the photograph is mounted on a card with handwriting along the bottom edge.
