About this work
The pointed oval, vaulted vessels, with slightly raised walls on the sides, rest on a pointed oval foot, also rising on the sides, that tapers strongly upwards, set on a straight-sided base. The body is pierced with rosettes and circles composed of two C-scrolls. Pearl borders run around the foot and along the upper side of the body. The high, rising, curved ears are grooved on the outer side.
