content: This polychrome albarello has a white tin–glazed background with green ribbons that flank a blue, green, yellow and ochre wreath framing blue and ochre c–scrolls. A blue and yellow rectangular band lacks an inscription. A piece of paper found in the jar is marked, "not authentic probably fake." Neither Wolfgang–Hagen Hein nor D. A. Wittop Koning mentions this piece in their 1983 letters discussing fakes and inconsistencies within the collection.
