White salt-glazed stoneware painted in polychrome enamels with flowers and foliage
White stoneware, press-moulded in two halves, salt-glazed, and painted in turquoise-blue, green, yellow, pink, mauve, and brownish-red enamels. The sauce boat stands on a leaf-shaped base, and has bulbous sides, an upward tilting lip, a wavy rim, and a reeded strap handle with a kick at its lower end. The sides are moulded with scrolls, and floral arrangements comprising roses and other flowers, and below the lip there is a large leaf. The scrolls, foliage, and the handle are green, and the flowers are painted naturalistically. On both sides of the interior there is a green rectangular panel dotted with darker green and edged with blue and pink, on the lip, a turquoise flower and foliage, and beside the upper end of the handle, a red flower and foliage.
