This small jar, painted with slender female figures, known in Europe as 'long Elizas', was acquired in Iran by Colonel R.J. Murdoch Smith (1835-1900), the Director of the Indo-European Telegraph Department, based in Tehran.\r\n\r\nThe pierced and engraved brass mounts were made during the Qajar dynasty (1794-1925) in Iran. They are minutely chased in an archaizing style, with several different figures and animals, some of them taken from nineteenth century iconographic sources or lithographs of more ancient works.","physicalDescription":"Porcelain jar, with body expanding upwards, painted in underglaze blue with slended femal figures.
