Cleveland Museum of Art

White porcelain octagonal planter with blue illustrations and decorations. The exterior has a repeating design around the bottom. On the sides are illustrations of trees and birds. The top of the planter near the rim on the outside has a floral design. Stretched across the top are six protrusions shaped like the heads and necks of swans or ducks, three on each side. The protrusions are white with blue details, and some are wearing blue beaded necklaces. The inside of the pot is unglazed and shows the tan clay. The pot stands on four small feet. The title is "First Tier for a Flower Pyramid" by Adrianus Kocx.
