Buff earthenware, the reverse lead-glazed over cream slip, the front tin-glazed and painted in yellow and manganese-purple. In the middle, within two concentric manganese circles, there is a knight in seventeenth-century armour mounted on a charger going to the left, and brandishing a weapon. In the background there are stylized bushes, and on the left, a house. Round the rim there is a border comprising short curved strokes between wavy lines with spots in the spaces, flanked by two wide and two narrow concentric bands.
