Pottery: Unknown
Bottle with bats among branches design. Porcelain, thrown, painted in cobalt-blue and glazed. This wine bottle has the usual wide body and broad base, and a tall tapering neck which is almost cylindrical at the top. The decoration is executed with a swift brush in very dark cobalt-blue and features two bats among branches. The glaze is greyish-white, contains many impurities and is oxidised on the lower part of the body. A few straight lines are scratched across the base, and traces of a fire-clay support remain on the footring.
