These beautiful jugs date from the late 18th century in China, yet they have been enameled to appear as if they are Persian. They have long, slender bodies in a flattened pear shape, and they feature enamel relief vignettes depicting Chinese dignitaries walking in a garden. Around these there are green enameled Persian style decorations with floral motifs. The jugs are set on high, spreading feet and they each have long, curving handles and spouts at either side. There are bulbous knops on each of their waisted necks. There are further Persian style decorations around the base and the rim of the jugs. The jugs display all the quality of Chinese craftsmanship and all the majesty of Persian design.
