Factory: Chiodo factory (Probably)
Earthenware, tin-glazed overall. Sprayed with manganese-purple and decorated by a resist process in green and yellow.
Ovoid body standing on a low footring, with curved spout, double-twist handle, dividing at its base into spirals projecting on each side, and a domed cover with a narrow rim and acorn finial.
The shoulder and cover are each encircled by a continuous wavy stem of yellow and green flowers and foliage, reserved in a manganese ground which covers the whole pot with the exception of a ring round the foot and another round the edge of the cover. The finial and the edges of the cover, spout, and mouth are outlined in a darker shade of manganese. The base is marked in manganese with a lighthouse.
