DESCRIPTION: The pitcher has a fat belly that narrows down towards the rim. The lips of the rim are slightly pulled outwards. The pitcher resembles a pear form altogether and has a single handle and a ring base. On the same axis with the twist handle a rosette figure is applied on the body with the barbotine technique. Red, yellow and black overglaze decoration was made on the light green glazed body. Since the paints flaked away the patterns are not clear.
