The ewer is decorated in bright enamel colours with three panels of ‘chinoiserie’ figure scenes, one showing a bearded Chinese gentleman in a blue robe, another a lady in a long green dress with short yellow overcoat, each in a balustrated garden, and the third a couple seated at a table laid for tea, also in a garden among flowers. The rim is framed by a floral border with butterflies in small panels, and the cover shows on one side a Chinese gentleman seated in a garden setting, and on the other side large pierced rockwork with flowers.

Comments:Harrison-Hall and Krahl 1994:The ewer was made at Dehua, Fujian province, where side-handled ewers, originally copied from European silverware, were rarely made (for a Jingdezhen example, see BM Franks. 816+). The ewer was painted in Holland and the colour scheme, with red and green enamels predominating, was probably intended to imitate the ‘famille verte’ palette.
