The jar is formed as stacked pears with applied leaves and fruit details, creating a sculptural surface rather than flat decoration.

The saucer features coordinating pear imagery designed to function as an underplate for table service. This style of figural ceramic aligns with late 20th-century Italian decorative tableware traditions, where functional forms were enhanced through naturalistic modeling and painterly color application.

Intended for preserves, honey, or condiments, the piece balances utility with ornamental presentation and reflects workshop production associated with Italian export ceramics of the period.
