label: Description
content: Design for a vase with dolphins encircling the belly of the krater form. The faces of the dolphins protrude on either side as knobs. There is some twisting scalloping from the body of the vase, through the neck and up to the rim. The lower half of the vase is decorated with a fish scale pattern. The foot of the vase is adorned with rosettes and vegetal motifs. The print is lettered but is missing the numbering found in earlier editions.
