content: Lidded vase in the form of an incense burner, with smoke billowing from the top. The rim of the vase is decorated with grotesque mascarons. Festoons are draped between, connecting at the mouths of the mascarons. The neck of the vase has deep, slanted carving. There is another mascaron (perhaps a satyr) at the center of the shoulder of the vase, with drapery over its top and connecting at either side of the vase in a knot. The foot of the vase is a tripod formed from goat legs. The vase is set upon a small bit of earth. The plate is not signed or numbered.
