Fiziksel açıklama
Painted in blue and black. The top of the square bottle has a straight neck similar to Dutch gin bottles, and a row of plantain leaf tips surrounds the base. The shoulder painted with four florets and scroll, slightly slopes down towards the four vertical sides, thus softening the profile of the Dutch model. A spotted lion with a bristling mane prances among flaming leaves, and two cash shapes with ribbons decorate two of the faces. The other two paintings represent a wide-necked vase on a tripod with two or three flower stems and the occasional flaming leaf.
