Description:

A vase with two scrolling handles tops a fountain set in a spherical niche. Two tritons grip the base of the vase, and their fins merge with a grotesque mask. Water spills from the mouth of the mask into and over a half-shell basin, below which the title of the series is inscribed. The plate is lettered and numbered.
