A very rare Loosedrecht ewer, circa 1778-84

Each side painted with a large landscape vignette depicting figures and buildings on a riverbank with distant ships, the moulded strap down the front and back and the handle edged with foliage and embellished in gilding, the rim moulded with gilt-edged foliate scrolls, the footrim with a gilt band, 25.1cm high, M: oL: in underglaze-blue (tip of spout and bottom section of handle restuck)

Two other ewers of the same shape are in the Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam, one with a similar but smaller landscape decoration (BK-14562-X).
