Also included is a rectangular indoor ceramic planter housed in its original illustrated cardboard box, marked RINGTONS A FAMILY BUSINESS SINCE 1907. Completing the group is a lidded ginger jar and a matching small tea bowl or sugar bowl, both decorated with traditional blue and white transfer-printed patterns in the Willow style, depicting pagodas, bridges, and floral motifs. The items are primarily manufactured from white glazed earthenware.
