Chinese ewer

Very rare hexagonal lidded ewer with pear shaped body, a narrow neck standing on a widening foot. The spout has an extra connection to the neck in an s-shaped form. The fact that all elements of the ewer, including the spout and ear, makes it  a hard to make and very rare item.

On both sides a decoration in blue and white of a person sitting in a landscape with high rocks and the characteristic clouds and v-shaped grasses of the Transition period.

China, Jin-de -Zhen.

Transition period, 1635-1645.

Height: 22,0 cm
