Description
White earthenware with slightly blue tinted lead-glaze, painted in terracotta, red and black enamels, and gilt
White earthenware with very slightly blue-tinted glaze, painted overglaze in terracotta, red and black enamels, and gilt. Oval, with bulbous sides, and rim rising up at each end. The oval cover rests on a ledge within the rim. It is of ogee form surmounted by an oval shuttle-shaped knob with a central bead on top. The sides are decorated with a broad border of five stylized flowerheads and five smaller closed flowers linked by a horizontal black stem with leaves branching from it, against a terracotta-coloured ground. Below there is a broad black band, and above a gold band. There is a narrow gold band round the base, and the edge of the rim is gilt.. The cover has a similar border. Its edge, and the top of the knob, apart from the central area, and the top of its bead are gilded.
