The wider panels contain either a similar chain stripe pattern, except on a white ground, or a black diagonal cross made from dashed lines above a dotted line. In the roundel, enclosed within a plain black line, a blue prancing hare is painted against a background o f leafy foliage in which leaves coloured turquoise, purple or blue on black stalks.
Exterior: black paint on rim continues onto exterior. On the neck a narrow frieze of blue and black ‘V’ shapes is enclosed within two black concentric lines. On the body, alternating pairs of blue and black lines radiate from the lower body towards a black concentric line on the upper body. The glaze runs unevenly onto the lower body and foot ring; the underside of the foot ring is also glazed.
