Hard-paste porcelain painted in colours and gilded. The pot is cylindrical with sloping shoulders, a long slightly curved spout and large loop handle. There is a well in the top to take the flat circular lid which has two lugs which fit under a flange to prevent the lid falling out while pouring. One side is decorated with two female figures on one side, while on the reverse is a man, woman and boy in a landscape.
