Decorated ewers and basins can be seen in the foreground.
In the background are two men, possibly the decorating manager and a travelling salesman viewing the work.
Enamelling
Enamelling is the process of painting on an underglaze pattern outline. This outline would have been previously applied to the ware as a transfer.
