The vessel is designed to look like a tree, dressed with a branch form handle on one side. The tall pitcher is in excellent condition and the flowers and leaves have a rich color palette of pink and green on a brown and dark blue background. Markings on the bottom with number 1559 engraved for further authentication. Measures: 5″ W x 7″ D x 15.5″ H.
