Description
Of elegant pear-shaped form with a slender neck and loop handle, painted in cobalt blue with a continuous oriental garden scene showing flowering peonies, rockwork, and a long-tailed bird perching beside bamboo, all within scrolling foliage. The neck with vertical floral sprays beneath a foliate border, the handle decorated with blue dashes. Tin-glazed throughout on a pale white ground, the foot-rim left unglazed revealing the buff earthenware body.
