Globular in shape, with a circular mouth and rounded rim, ribbon-shaped handle, and coiled foot. The decoration, in monochrome blue on a white ground, features delicate figurette in a sparse landscape typical of 18th-century Ligurian wares, covering the entire surface. The front, opposite the handle, displays the coat of arms of the Olivetan Order flanked by two angels, painted in the same abbreviated style. The underside bears the mark “F.A.”
