Description

White salt-glazed stoneware with applied reliefs of squirrels and plant motifs

White stoneware, thrown, with applied handles and moulded reliefs, and salt-glaze.

On each side there are asymmetrically placed reliefs of squirrels, fleurs-de-lys, bunches of grapes, acorns and sprays of flowers, partly connected by coiled threads of clay corrugated by transverse impressions.
