It is absolutely beautiful to look at . No lid , and a small chip from the bottom that looks tho have happened long ago. During heating maybe? 1 small imperfection by spout but learned some porcelain craftsman would leave these intentionally? Looks as if some how paint was applied before glazing process and made the colors transparent .like color glass ,in all of the foliage. And hand traced everything in the best looking gold paint, I have ever seen. But all gold was applied after glazing? The craftsmanship in this pot is absolutely amazing. 7 holes inside but they look as if pushed through from the outside in but are not exactly perfect although shaped like a flower. On the inside an unglazed spot left just under where the lid would sit.
