Their flock of sheep resting in the background at left. To the center is a black and white dog, a border collie perhaps. To the right is a mule, laden with baskets overflowing with their bounty of cherries. All surrounded by lush pastoral setting and a serene blue sky.

Surrounded by an intricate gilt floral border. On a bleu lapis or faux lapis lazuli ground, enhanced with gilt accents. Flanked by reticulated handles patterned as stylized foliate with gilt highlights. Measures 13 1/8" x 12" x 1 5/8 height. Marked to the reverse with Severs interlaced L's.
