A blue transferware design of peony flowers on a white porcelain pitcher. The top has a spouted lip that is scalloped edged with acanthus leaves; from this a handle that is floral in design of both porcelain and transferware. The neck of the pitcher is narrow and the shoulder swells out and then recedes to a narrower base that has vertical swellings. The vines and flowers are very curvilinear and the lavish flowers are open revealing stamens and pistils. There are no transfer designs inside.
Matching pieces are MP.93.109-.113, MP.94.184 & .185 A-B.
