Polychromed vessel or container, originally with a lid and the word 'azúcar' (sugar) written in black, with a scene from the Romantic period in the center. It was made with red clay using glassy enamel in the ensemble of the piece and the base, which is not crackled. The firing process was carried out in a box or covering with no signs of the use of tripods.

The representations are outlined in black and the colors were applied by freehand, simulating watercolors. A template was used to make the copy of the drawing. Some scraps can be observed inside the piece due to its use.  

The ensemble of vessels to which it belongs is highly unique and of great importance, since neither in Puebla nor in Europe are there any other known examples with the same characteristics, according to the research of Doctor Alfonso Pleguezuelo. They were all created in the same workshop and due to their decoration, they belong to the Romantic period, in which priority was given to personal feelings in contrast to rationalism, and distinctive from the previous period which was that of the Enlightenment.

A genre or "costumbrista" scene of a group of children can be seen on this container, which was outlined in black and then polychromed, reflecting the interest of showing childhood as a vital phase in this period. The image of the girl fishing is a novelty, as up to then this was an activity that was only done by males.

It was originally published in the book Loza blanca y azulejo de Puebla, by Enrique A. Cervantes in 1939. The vessel had a lid and the word azúcar (sugar) outlined in black; he places it from the middle of the 19th century to the beginning of the 20th. It was part of the Amparo Museum Talavera Exhibition in 1999, cataloged by Margaret Connors between 1850-75, thereby concurring with Doctor Alfonso Pleguezuelo and Doctor Emma Yanes.
