Hard-paste porcelain, moulded, glazed, and painted overglaze in blue, two shades of green, red, puce, and purple enamels. The glaze is extremely speckly on the interior. Of oval ogee or waisted form, with curved spout, strap handle, and domed cover with an oval knob rising to a point in the centre. Behind the spout there are ten holes forming an eliptical outline with one hole in the centre. The cover is pierced by a ventilation hole, and another, blocked, under the knob. The sides of the pot are decorated with scattered floral sprays of different sizes. On the shoulder there is a border of a zig-zag line with crosses and flowerheads on the bends and blue dots below. Above there is a narrow red line, and a broader puce band round the mouth. The top of the lip of the spout is decorated with a puce half flower and graduated dots, and the back of the handle with a fan-shaped puce flower with dots of graduated size above, and below with a spot, a vertical stroke and a curved line at the bottom. The cover is decorated with two large and two smaller floral sprays and a matching border. The top of the knob is decorated with radiating puce lines. Pattern 298.
