Oval bronze medallion with relief of winged male nude
Large, bulky vase of dark tan stoneware with short foot and neck, the main body completely covered with prism-shaped "prongs" that extend from the body creating a rough, uneven, prickly surface, this covered by a creamy, thick and opaque, light blue, bubbly glaze that runs down the body and over the prongs, the edges thereof and around the neck partially blackish in color, giving the impression of burnt lava, a bit of the glaze runs over the lip and into the interior leaving the edge of the neck glaze free, the foot likewise glaze free.
Small asparagus shell of white soft-paste porcelain with low vertical, scalloped sides that taper towards one end, open at both ends to allow bundles of asparagus spears to be contained inside, the interior printed in underglaze blue in the "Fisherman" or "Pleasure Boat" pattern, each of the interior sides and above and below the printed scene a border of small blue octagonal elements with a white dot in the middle above a repeating C-scroll and dot pattern.
