Comments:Harrison-Hall 2001:Undoubtedly made for the Mughal Indian market, the blue-and-white Patterns are closely related to those of Indian silk and printed cotton textiles. The lobed round body shape is paralleled in Indian metal work, such as a seventeenth-century Deccani piece-cast ewer in the British Museum. The shape is also similar to Indian ‘Bidri’ wares with brass bodies and silver and gold inlay. A Poorly illustrated ceramic vessel of a similar shape, possibly of later manufacture, was recovered from Mergui, Burma.
