Place of origin |
With flat rim and shallow well. It is painted in the middle with a pastoral scene of a lady in a red bodice and light green skirt, standing beside a gentleman in a blue coat and crimson breeches, in a landscape with distant hills and trees; reclining on the ground before them by two wooden barrels and a tree is a gentleman dressed in a green coat and red breeches, playing a guitar. Round the well is a border of cresting in black and gold. On the rim is a border of baroque scrollwork and formal flowers in thick, bright yellow, blue, red and green. The pastoral scene is copied from a European design, probably after Watteau.
