Swag decoration to collar. Dash and swag decoration to collar and brushed cobalt dash to spout. Cobalt highlights to handle terminals. Decoration is applied over slip-coated clay.

Faint lines in underside, including a very faint line (barely visible on exterior) extending 6" up side of pitcher. Two in-the-firing contact marks to left side of pitcher. H 12".
