Description
A bulbous tin-glazed earthenware ewer with tall cylindrical neck, strap handle and short spout, painted in cobalt blue on a white glaze with broad stylised foliate scrolls and wave motifs around the body and neck. The underside shows a roughly trimmed, unglazed footrim typical of early northern European production. The glaze is slightly opaque and pitted, consistent with kiln firing in Dutch and German workshops rather than the cleaner, glassier surface of Italian tin-glaze.
