Artist/Maker | |
Place of origin |
Porcelain ewer with globular body from which rises a tapered cylindrical neck, strengthened below the lip by a protruding ring. A metal mount and stopper of Near Eastern design attached by a chain to a band round the handle, have subsequently been added. A slender, flat, s-shaped handle with dragon's head above and protruding finger-rest below rises from the shoulder to the upper part of the neck. The base is flat and unglazed. Painted in underglaze blue round the body with panels in 'outline-and-wash' technique, containing scrollwork, between pendant and upright frieze of similar character. Similar lozenge-shaped panels on the neck stand on a network ground. A floral scroll runs down the handle.
