In a lovely soft color palette of lilac pink and gray with green acanthus leaves, and a yellow ochre rope border. The lid shows three overlapping sardines on a bed of seaweed. The box has a base of running upright acanthus leaves with a nautical rope border. The under tray is fitted to hold the sardine box and repeats the complimentary border of leaves and roping. A soft pink interior.
The base of the box and under tray are glazed to resemble a mottled tortoiseshell. Both pieces are marked – the box with the raised George Jones pad mark, the tray with the “thumb print” bearing a pattern number and the impressed GJ.
