Pale buff earthenware, tin-glazed overall. Painted in dark blue, green, yellow, and brownish-orange.
Shape 70. Circular with a narrow rim, wide shallow well, and convex boss in the centre.
The central medallion contains a woman half-length in profile to right, facing a scroll inscribed `LABINA' reserved in a blue ground, surrounded by a broad yellow circle. On the sides, formal plants alternate with coronets to which they are linked by scrolling foliage. On the rim is a border of paired laurel leaves between blue bands, the inner band decorated with rectangles and dots, and the outer with slanting lines to resemble a rope. The edge is yellow. The back is decorated with a thickly painted blue spiral in the centre, two widely spaced brownish-orange concentric circles, and a third next to the rim. Between them are narrow blue concentric circles, and, next to the rim, a wider blue circle.
