Wedgwood looks to the British obsession with Japanism for the design of this majolica, "Argenta" ware jug. Alternating vertical panels with white and colored grounds create a striped effect around the tapering cylinder shape. One panel consists of a potted plant executed in greenish taupe with soft rose-colored berries. The alternate panel is a combination of Japanesque ground patterns in a cool blue, chocolate brown and greenish amber.
