The decoration is executed in a rich cobalt blue on a white tin-glaze ground, displaying a fine example of Chinoiserie style, characteristic of Delftware production influenced by imported Chinese porcelain. The design includes: Main Register: Large, detailed panels or reserves on the shoulder featuring dense, intricate floral and foliate motifs, possibly incorporating cornucopia-like elements and cross-hatching patterns, all set against a richly stippled dark blue ground. Body Decoration: The lower body and central panels are decorated with delicate sprays of flowers, scrolling foliage, and vignettes showing Chinese landscape elements, including a tiered pagoda/pavilion and a flying bird. Other panels feature a single bird perched among flowering branches. Foot and Neck: The foot is finished with a scalloped border pattern, and the short neck is decorated with simple scrollwork. Marks: The underside bears painted underglaze marks: 'VH' over 'S.M.' The 'VH' mark likely refers to Willem van Hoorn, the owner of the De Witte Star (The White Star) factory in Delft, active during the late 17th and early 18th centuries (c. 1691-1724). The 'S.M.' is likely an associated painter's mark or another administrative cipher.
