Though this jug looks like a tea pot, it was most likely used for wine and modeled on imported Chinese porcelain wine pots. The cobalt blue decoration, with its figures amidst a rocky mountain-filled landscape, also owes its design inspiration to Chinese porcelain. It was made in the city of Delft, in the province of Holland, using local earthenware clay and tin-glaze to answer the European demand for imported porcelain during a period when trade with China was closed.
