Description
Painted in manganese, yellow, and iron oxide on a white tin-glazed ground, the centre depicting a milkmaid seated beneath a cow, milking into a pail within a stylised pastoral landscape. The scene is framed by a manganese geometric border of interlacing scrolls, a decorative motif typical of Delft production in the late 17th century. The reverse is plain tin glaze with spur marks from stacking in the kiln.
