A Chinese porcelain sparrow beak jug with associated lid finely painted in bright famille rose enamels with figures in a courtyard.
Dating from the 2nd half of the C18th., it stands 5 1/4inches (13.3 cms) high with lid.
The handle has a firing fault and some wear to the gilding. As mentioned, the lid is a close match, but not original (Someone has retouched the knop in gold paint but it is not damaged.)
