content: Vase in the shape of a pitcher. The c-curve handle of the vase terminates at the lip with the mouth of a grotesque dolphin. The neck of the vase is decorated with a fish scale pattern and shells. At the shoulder of the vase is a low relief with a river god, reclining against a spilling vase. A garland of leaves is draped across the vase and loops over the bottom part of the handle. The vase has shell-shaped gadroons at its base and a tapered foot. The vase is elevated on a low socle with faint indication of a landscape below it. The print is engraved in red ink (sanguine) crayon manner. The plate is lettered.
