- Summary:

Motifs include flowers, scrolls, buds, birds and sometimes bible scenes and landscapes.
- Description:
- Terracotta flower pot painted blue and hand painted in contrasting blue tones in the floral and bird motifs of Hindeloopen folk art. The accompanying saucer is also decorated in a similar fashion.
