We love several aspects.
We love the irregularly scalloped rim. The tight scallops appear over the floral areas on the surround. These areas alternate with scenic river views each with a sailboat and classic urn. The scallops stretch on these areas to emphasize the scene. The surround is done in purple transfer.
We love the bi-color design.The scene in the center done in black features a large classic urn in a garden setting.
The design, Canova, is purported to honor an Italian artist by the pattern name who was cremated; hence the urn.
The back is marked with pattern name and pottery. Condition is excellent: no chips, cracks, hairlines, stains, or restorations.
