Potter: Unknown
Fritware painted in lustre over a glaze coloured with blue
Fritware, moulded, painted in lustre on a transparent glaze coloured with blue.
Shape: pear-shaped bottle on a low foot ring with an elongated cylindrical neck.
Exterior: on the neck floral sprays above a frieze of vertical dashes and lines. On the body, peacocks are painted within a landscape of cypress trees, floral spays and a pagoda; a rectangle with attached curving lines may represent a stylised river. Blue colouration of glaze runs unevenly onto the exterior foot ring but on the underside the glaze is transparent. Scar marks on the base indicate the use of a tripod stacking device in the kiln.
Interior: rim is coloured blue and the glaze runs over the interior surface that is visible.
