A white enamel jug marked half a litre and a tall coffee pot frame a speckled turquoise pan filled with plums, one more resting on the lace-edged cloth. The blushed fruit glows against the cool enamel, while the cutwork lace shows off its pattern of cut-away holes. Humble vessels and ripe skin, balanced with quiet precision.
