Vase shaped like a truncated cone with a slightly bulbous upper section and an everted rim. It is decorated with five figures –two boys and three girls– with a rural landscape and clusters of buildings in the background. Bequeathed by the Salvador Riera collection, the base has been part of the museum’s collections since March 1996. It was on display between March and June that year to mark the reopening of the Museu Víctor Balaguer following its refurbishment.

We would like to thank the museum’s director, Mireia Rosich, and her team for their kind assistance in cataloguing this work.
