| Place of origin |
Jarlet, globular with short narrow neck and rounded, spreading lip, having a pair of horizontally-tubular lugs at the shoulder; flat, unglazed base. The somewhat greyish glaze finishes irregularly round the base. Painted on either side in dark greyish blue is a spray of flowering chrysanthemum. A horizontal join is visible round the sides, and the sections were probably mould-cast.
