The flask is hand painted in tones of brown, yellow, turquoise green and blue on a white glazed ground with simple linear and wavy patterning with simple incised patterning around the upper edge of the shoe. The flask is typically unmarked. Provenance: From a private collection and acquired in the UK Art Market. In good condition with customary glaze fritting and wear associated with age and use.
