It has a bulbous body flattened on both sides on each of which is a domed and perforated projection resembling a wheel. The narrow neck and three rows of pierced holes, and round the mouth there are three spouts projecting from a tube which connects to the hollow handle. This has a hole on the underside near the top, and at the bottom has a hole which leads into the body. Inside there is a two-headed bird. The foot of the jug is encircled by Chinese ju-i motifs, the body is decorated with flowers, leave and insects, and on the shoulder has the initials and date 'P/NM/1686'.
