Lead-glazed redware with replacement painted tin lid and decorated with chinoiserie and foliate reliefs.
Red earthenware with lead glaze and replacement painted tin lid. The sides of the pentagonal slip-cast body taper upwards. It has an eight-faceted, curved spout and reeded loop handle applied at right-angles to one another. Each side of the body has different relief decoration: (clockwise from handle) there is a bird perched on a disc with a cat below, then two birds above a lion holding a fleur-de-lys in one paw, followed by three sides showing birds over chinoiserie buildings. The top of each side features foliate scrollwork. The pyramidal lid has reliefs of chinoiserie buildings and an urn-shaped finial.
