Description
White salt-glazed stoneware cornucopia-shaped wall pocket painted in polychrome enamels
White stoneware, press-moulded, salt-glazed, and painted in turquoise-blue, green, yellow, and dark pink enamels. The front of the wall pocket is moulded in the form of half a cornucopia with a wavy top edge, which has an applied flat back with two suspension holes at the top. Its lower part is decorated in relief with foliage, and the upper part with a plant in a pot against a diaper pattern. The foliage and the edges are green, and the flowers of the pot plant are variously coloured in combinations of the other enamels.
