Pale buff earthenware, tin-glazed and painted in blue, green, yellow, and manganese-purple. The stand is in the form of a young woman sitting on a rock or tree stump on a circular base. She wears a flowered skirt, a white chemise, and a laced manganese purple bodice, with yellow edging on its low neckline which reveals her breasts. Her visible shoe is yellow. On either side of her is a roughly oval basket which she balances on the rock with her hands. The baskets have a gadrooned edge outlined in blue and in the middle have an oval manganese-purple outline enclosing respectively, 'peper' (on her right) and sout' (salt). The base is dappled in all the colours.
