About this work
This blue monochrome albarello drug jar has a white glazed background with a central design of a shield and crown. The interior of the shield has a star, a cross, and a stylized flower. The shield and crown are framed by curling vines and stems. At the shoulders are thin bands and a semicircle of lozenges. The glaze for the various motifs is thick and is raised in spots.
