An example of Kraak wares produced during the Wanli period and typified by the fine potting, press-molded forms, and naturalistic blue decoration. The form of this specific ewer is unique and not necessarily typical of domestic Chinese wares, or wares based on European forms specifically produced for export. A similar ewer with naturalistic root forms around the spout is in the collection of the British Museum, London (obj. no. Franks.1579).
