The underside retains a Grahamstown Potteries Limited label identifying it as Drostdy Ware, Grahamstown, South Africa. The small ovoid body sits on a circular pedestal, with an elongated handle balancing the extended pointed lip. Its pale glaze allows the outline to remain the main decorative feature. Comparison with the black-glazed version shows the same general form in a markedly different colour, without establishing that the two pieces share an exact production date.
