Figures of little Eva (left) and Uncle Tom (right) in an arbour, white earthenware, crackled glaze, press-moulded, on a low oval base painted green and brown, Eva with an orange edged, open book in her lap, and wearing orange shoes, long frilled pantaloons, white, flounced, short sleeved dress fringed with pink, and a yellow sash, naturalistically painted face, brown hair, seated beside Uncle Tom on a naturalistically painted knoll. Uncle Tom half seated half standing, dressed in black shoes, white trousers and a cream jacket, over a loose white shirt, black face, left leg extended, his hands on his knees and his right leg bent against Eva. A knotted brown branch arches over their heads, and the arbour is ornamented with small clumps of green extruded clay with orange tips. Paint flaking from base.
