The neck is decorated alternately with short and long pointed leaves. The shoulder features a band of block-shaped motifs, while the body is decorated with a chinoiserie garden landscape depicting two reclining Chinese figures. Semi-circular ornaments are painted around the foot.

Explanatory note
The light blue colouring of the white tin glaze was often used in the last decades of the seventeenth century, usually combined with chinoiserie decorations.
