A large portion of this group is colored with blue underglaze: the entire garment of the boy and the shirt of the girl. Both stand with crossed legs. The boy holds a basket while the girls holds her wide-brimmed hat and a bouquet of flowers. The two figures are separated by an orange structure from which issues a stream; the top is hollow for holding flowers.
