Circular with deep curved sides and slightly everted edge, standing on a low circular foot. In the middle there is a circular medallion enclosing a seated female figure representing Faith, holding up a chalice in her right hand and supporting a book against her hip with her left hand. Her left foot rests on a serpent whose head points towards two books lying on the ground, and her right rests on a log. Behind the woman there is a landscape with tree trunks on either side, a swan on a lake, two smaller trees, and distant rocks and buildings. The sides are decorated with nineteen stylized daisy plants in relief on a manganese ground separated by radiating blue straps with trefoil ends and a central off-white ridge formed by small overlapping discs.C.1810-19281accession numberC.1810-192872672priref72672old object number4416urihttps://data.fitzmuseum.cam.ac.uk/id/object/72672https://data.fitzmuseum.cam.ac.uk/id/object/72672referenceagent-149638adlib-agent-1496387376d833-d0a7-3be0-916e-9c892b7a24d8The Fitzwilliam MuseumJ.W.L.

They are now considered to have been made by a pottery probably in Paris in the early 17th century, or elsewhere.
