The inside is a rich glazed red. The painting around the rim is not uniform.

There is a number 374 stamped to the underside and similar pieces are made by Onnaing with the same number stamp and mark beneath. This one is missing the 'Onnaing' stamp.

There is a hairline fractures around the rim. I would suggest this piece be used for decoration and not daily use. It should not be cleaned in a dishwasher.

Other than these two fractures, and some normal crazing given its age, it is in good condition for its age without chips to the rim or damage to the handle.


Height: 18cm
Diameter at widest: approx 12cm
Spout to handle: 14.5cm
