Fiziksel açıklama
Ewer painted in blue. Two flowers and cobalt runs mark the flaring neck of the ewer which has a ring at its base and rises to a straight narrow band of elongated dots under a saucer rim. Two double lines frame the ring. A broad band on the should encloses three flowers among sprays of dots. There are three levels to the decoration of the body: first a series of nine panels enclosing shapeless floral designs, then a series of starry flowers and leaves, and finally a band of overlapping round panels. A herring-bone pattern covers the flattened outer handle and dots in a lozenge shape repeat on the spout.
