Baluster mug, famille rose-verte, incised R mark group. Tree house.

Baluster-shaped tankard, decorated with a pattern taken form the Chinese, in the famille rose-verte palette. It is amusing to note how the house on a hill in the original has been merged into a branch in the foreground, resulting in a curious tree-house.

Incised R-Mark group; B painter’s mark.
