The studs are made of a double rod held in place by a white paste; they are of different lengths ; The decoration is hand-painted in mauve and violet underglaze. It is stylized vegetal. The top of the wall is adorned with a wide band painted in mauve. The wall is decorated with four similar leafy stems in a row, separated by six-pointed stars.
