Fine speckling runs through the glossy surface, while deeper green glaze pools around the short neck and recessed details.

The underside photograph shows the Lucia Ware marking and model number 1562 within the glazed base, surrounded by an unglazed foot ring. Its period is the mid 20th century, circa 1945 to the 1950s.
