Notes
The piece is a jug (A) with flat, circular ends, a long, tapering neck with a hinged neck, a dome-shaped lid, and a decorated spherical end. The handle is attached to the bottom of the lid opposite a small pourer. The body rests on an open base and at the center of each side is a pink diamond surrounded by three leaves within precise enamelled borders of rectangles framing the floral arrangements. The attached oval tray (B) features floral enamel sprinkles on top of four open feet that end in elephant heads.
