About this work

Porcelain ewer with a globular body, spreading neck, and C-shaped handle, painted in underglaze blue. On the belly a continuous landscape with two standing people among trees, flowering plants, and rocks. The shoulder features a decorative band. The neck has two tulip motifs. The handle is decorated with vines; inside the handle is a metal pin, likely for a lid. A chip in the rim; the rim is somewhat worn, possibly due to a now-missing mount. Arita, blue and white.
