A glazed earthenware jug in cream, rust brown and violet holds a loose bunch of fresh lavender, with a ceramic saucer beneath and other pots softly blurred behind. The finder squares are hidden in the dark brown and purple glaze marks on the jug's belly, while the modules run through the blotchy patterns and the dense lavender florets above. Dark glaze and purple blossoms against pale clay and a bright blurred background keep the contrast strong. Warm sunlight picks out the throwing rings in the clay and the gloss of the glaze.
