Pottery: Unknown
Ewer and cover with chrysanthemum design. Porcelain, thrown, with parts attached, painted in cobalt-blue and glazed. This globular ewer has a curved upright spout, a handle of twisted strands across the top, and a deep angular footring. The flat lid has a knob in the shape of a seated animal (perhaps a cat). The ewer is painted in underglaze cobalt-blue with sprays of flowering chrysanthemum and a key-fret border at the rim, and the cover with chrysanthemum leaves. The glaze is of pale bluish-white colour, the body is thick, and the footring shows traces of sandy fire-clay supports.
