Of the remaining subjects two consist of a female figure weeping over an urn placed on a pedestal, and the third of a man and woman in 18th century costume. The short neck has a border of vine-leaves and grapes, and on the lower part of the body is a wide band of reeding. The jug has a loop handle.
