Plate.
The lip, which has a flattened and somewhat in-turned profile, is unevenly thrown. There are three holes towards the lip below the scene, made after firing, as if for suspension.
On the upper face, in the central tondo, is a woman seated on a rock and holding out a dish in her left hand towards a youth who stands facing her, his right foot resting on a rise in the ground. He holds out a mirror in his right hand and a staff and a wreath in his left. In the field above, a sash. Across the bottom is a band of false meander. The scene is enclosed by a band of wave pattern, then a zone of olive in added white.
The outside is black down to the lower wall and foot which are reserved. On the underside is a rather crudely drawn black circle.

The drawing may be placed in the wider circle of the Darius and Underworld Painters, and more specifically among the small vases in the British Museum Centaur Group.
