Of cylindrical form and painted in the typical palette with two women
watching their children play within an edited garden setting suggested
by a banana tree and rock, the celadon-tinged glaze applied to the
interior and exterior walls, continuing onto the outside edges of the
concave base and the circular recess at the center but leaving an
unglazed ring of fabric partially covered by pale russet wash.

of the delicately formed foot.
