The Piece Is All Richly Hand Decorated On A Deep Mazarine Blue Ground, With Various Birds, Grasses And Flowers, Which Have All Been Richly Hand-decorated, Over-glaze In Pastel Shade Enamels And With Much Gold (gilt) Detail As Per The Images. There Is Additional Gilded Detail To The Rims And Handles. There Are Three Cracks On The Bottom Of The Pot, Which Have Been Professionally Glued Back Together Many Years Ago. Along The Bottom Edge, There Are Some Chips, Which Can Be Seen In The Photo If You Look Carefully. Inside, A Small Structure Has Been Glued To The Bottom To Raise The Bottle Above The Surface, Allowing For Better Cooling. This Structure Can Apparently Be Removed, But Has Not Been Done So. There Is Some Slight Loss Of Gilding On The Handles And Rim, But The Rest Of The Pot Is In Pe.
