Maker: Unknown
Earthenware, tin-glazed overall. The glaze under the foot and on the inside of the vase has bubbled and crawled leaving numerous circular bare areas. Painted in blue, green, yellow, orange, and manganese-brown.
Campana-shaped body with trumpet-shaped foot and domed cover with a teat-shaped finial.
The cover has a mottled yellow ground, decorated on each side with a cartouche containing a lion's mask, surrounded by flowers and foliage, and round the outer edge with a blue band between two orange. The finial is striped horizontally in yellow, blue, and orange. The upper part of the vase is decorated with coast scenes with classical ruins and mountains, and the lower part is en suite with the cover. On the foot are coast scenes with domestic buildings and mountains and, round the outer edges, lightly sketched brown foliage over a wide blue band between two orange.
