Polychromed vessel or container, originally with a lid, featuring 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. Some scraps are observed in the interior of the piece due to its use.

It shows a genre scene with two youths conversing; there is a clay cistern with a water chute used to fill the clay pitcher placed on the ground. The representations are outlined in black and have unequal proportions, they are framed in yellow and orange with rough strokes. The colors were applied freehand in light blue, green, brown and yellow, simulating watercolors. A template was used to carry out the copy of the drawing.

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 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.
