It features a hand-painted pastoral scene of a man and woman in 18th-century attire on a pink background, with white bands and intricate gold embellishments. The object has a tall, tapering neck with a distinctive flared rim, and it sits on a circular base with matching gold detailing.
The central figures are a young man and a woman in period-appropriate clothing, suggesting a "courting couple" theme. The man is seated on the ground, while the woman sits close by, perhaps on a blanket. The scene's style, often referred to as fête galante, depicts well-dressed figures in a natural, park-like environment, engaging in courtship or leisure. See less
