Tin-glazed earthenware painted in blue with a Chinese figure in a landscape
Buff eathenware, thrown, tin-glazed bluish-white, and painted in blue. The bottle has a bulbous body with a tall slender neck and a shallow cup-shaped mouth with a pinched lip on one side. The lower part is decorated with a Chinese style landscape with a tree, flowering plants, a fence, houses, a standing figure on a bridge, and a detached floral spray. On the shoulder there is a band of diaper ornament, broken by four blue panels with reserved leaves. On the neck there is a spray of flowers, and on the underside of the mouth a narrow border of slanting leaves.
