Tin-glazed earthenware painted in blue
Buff earthenware, tin-glazed bluish-white and painted in blue. The pot has a globular body with a curved spout and a loop handle which is grooved vertically on the exterior, and has an upward hook on the terminal. The cover was attached to the body before glazing. It is domed and slightly stepped with a projecting rim, and squat conical knob. The base of the pot has an aperture through which it can be filled by means of a tube rising up the middle of the interior. The pot is decorated in Oriental style. On one side a man in European dress stands brandishing a spear or arrow in a landscape with a tree, small bushes and rocks. On the other side, a deer stands beside bamboos and rocks and above on the shoulder there is a large flower, flanked by small flower heads and wavy forms filled with small circles. The handle has floral decoration and there is a fern on the spout. The lid has a border matching that on the shoulder, and the knob is decorated with downward pointing leaves or petals.
