White earthenware transfer-printed in blue under lead-glaze. Deep circular bowl with slightly everted rim, standing on a footring. On opposing sides there is a projecting spout, that on the left covered by a moulded leaf. The top of the two spouts touch the horizontal U-shaped handles, the open one on the right is pierced by a circular hole. The top is formed by a plate with a slightly concave sloping rim, and shallow well. The top is printed overall with ‘Tiber’ pattern, comprising a view of boats on the Tiber with the Ponte Sant’Angelo, the Castello Sant’Angelo, Trajan’s Column, and St Peter’s in the background. On either side there are trees and bushes. Round the edge there is a narrow border of ovals and interlacing wavy lines. On the exterior of the lower part there are four repeats of the view. The handles are decorated en suite with the edge of the top.

Drakard and Holdway described this as one of Spode’s finest designs. It was a combination of two engravings by J. Merigot published in his Views of Rome and its Vicinity, London, 1796-98. It is not strictly topographical: Trajan’s Column and the trees were inserted.
