Description

Earthenware, tin-glazed off-white overall, the reverse tinged with green. Painted in blue, green, and lemon-yellow.
Shape approximately 59 but shallower.
In the middle, within three concentric blue circles, is a three-quarter-length figure of a woman wearing a blue dress with a green stomacher and holding a blue fixed fan in her right hand. On the sides of the well are triangular motifs, each formed by three green horizontal lines of decreasing length. On the rim, between sets of three concentric blue circles, there is a yellow zig-zag with green V-shapes and yellow dots in the spaces and a wavy blue band next to the outer concentric circles.
