Decor details: The cylindrical base is richly decorated with circular reserves or painted cartouches in blue camaïeu underglaze, depicting scenes of Dutch landscapes, typically fishermen or rural characters, contrasting with the polychrome floral decoration of the body.
Height of approximately 31 cm.
