A cluster of glazed ceramic jugs and vases sits on a wooden shelf, with three sculpted poppy-shaped cups rising on stems above a green houseplant. The poppy cups with their cobalt blue centers and the round blue flower motifs on the pots disguise the finder squares. Rust brown glaze blotches and a square spiral pattern on the front jug carry the dark modules against creamy white stoneware. Strong sunlight adds glossy highlights and crisp shadows, keeping the contrast between the dark and light areas clear.
