Black and white illustration of a ceramic vase. The vase has a wide base that narrows as it rises. There is a wide lip at the top and a handle attached on one side. A sculpted figure of a man reclining on his side tops the vase on one side while a sculpted figure of a woman on the opposite side appears to be supporting the spout of a teapot. A cherub is sculpted on the body of the vase, surrounded by foliage. The image appears on aged paper background with faint writing at the bottom. A small notation appears in the upper right corner.
