Description

High shouldered jarlet with a narrow mouth, with blurred and congested underglazed blue designs. A petal motif encircles the banded neck. The body is decorated with four centrally placed flowers that may be peonies, and are surrounded by leafy foliage. The jarlet has a high gloss glaze, and a curved flat unglazed base, in the shape of a pinkish white biscuit.
