The ewer is moulded and painted in iron red and gilt with a central tear shape filled with a lotus flower surrounded by cloud bands reserved on a red ground and flanked by sprigs of flowers. The neck is moulded with radiating petals and painted with stiff leaves. 26.7cm high. 

Literature: This type of ewer was made for export. The shape is derived from Middle Eastern metalwork. A pair of similar ewers is in the V&A collection, 240&A-1876 and 240B&C-1876.
