Description: | Narrow neck, no handles, low foot. Decoration: neck interior originally painted black but now extremely worn. Rim, edge and underside all black. Neck; two upper and two lower bands containing white downward tongues, below single wave and dot bands. Below on main body swirling florals with single flowers to the left and right framing a white dove/pigeon, with detail picked out in yellow, wings out stretched landing on a platform, flanked by two schematic waves on either side forming a band. The latter forms part of two double bands flanking a 'v' and inverted 'v' pattern. Below an incised line an orange and black banding on lip and side of foot, base reserved. Note: pigeon is Greek symbol of Venus. Perhaps Venus is depicted here allegorically? On base of object, '£30' written in pencil.
