This ceramic vessel is a porcelain foot bath or large planter produced by Nantucket Co. It features an oblong, basin-like form with two integrated scroll handles at the ends. The exterior is decorated with a nautical theme in underglaze blue, applied via transfer printing on a white ground. The scenes depict various sailing vessels, including prominent three-masted ships in the foreground and smaller schooners and seagulls in the background. The rim and base are accented with simple blue bands, while the handles are finished in a solid deep blue glaze. The interior is white. No maker’s marks are visible on the exterior.
