Mug with a rounded cylindrical form that flares out at two points and tapers towards the base. The mug's exterior is speckled dark brown stoneware. Two areas near the handle appear almost smeared, like they were disturbed before the glaze was dry. The exterior of the mug has thin horizontal, imprinted lines uniformly circling the form. The mug has a rougher texture nearer to the lip and there are visible air bubbles on the body. The lip and interior are off-white toneware with dark-brown specks.
Large, deep creamware charger painted in bright enamel colors in shades of yellow, green, brown, and blue, the front rim edged in yellow and the center with a scene that extends to the rim of Mercury floating from above, his right arm outstretched, towards a seated Paris, who extends his left arm with hand open to receive the Apple of Discord, on the right a seated puma looks on, in a rocky landscape with trees and a river edge in foreground; the reverse decorated with a band of zigzags in browns and blues interspersed with yellow and green circular motifs, with a green band and a blue band within which the artist's monogram, date 1858, and the inscription MERCVRIO presenta il pumo a PARIDE.
