The majolica pottery dish is of rounded shallow form the center with a raised nude sat on a flowering vine with two winged cherubs. The scene decorated in turquoise glazes is set within a slightly raised center within a simple blue and yellow line border the outer rim hand decorated in colors with a futuristic abstract design incorporating grotesque serpent heads. The base of the dish is decorated in blue with a white glazed base with an impressed T mark and a painted black H mark.
