DescriptionMiniature porcelain pitcher with overglaze pink and red enamel, and gilding. The pitcher has an indulating rim that curves forward to form a spout. Beneath the rim is a narrow neck with a raised collar, then an ovoid body, with a round foot. A slender handle connects the rim with the widest point of the pitcher. The exterior sides are painted with pink enamel, with the exception of one round area to the left of the handle. The round area is outlined with red leaves on a vine. Four vines with red leaves radiate out from this area as well. Gilded flowers with red centers are painted inside the round area. Additional lines of gilding have been applied at the edge of the rim, and in a line down the handle that ends in the outline of a leaf.
