It is decorated with the famous blue onion / Zwiebelmuster design in under glaze blue with a nice relief design to the paste around the bottom edge. You can feel the blue sunk into the paste and it has a nice design to the top rim and a fun design to the paste along the bottom edge and bottom terminal of the handle. Nice tapered shape to the tankard. Really a stunning looking piece! Nice sized version as well! The piece is in perfect condition. it is marked underneath with the under glaze blue crossed swords mark (first choice) as well as the usual impressed marks, etc. one finds on Meissen of this period as shown. The tankard is 5.25 inches tall and just over 3.5 inches in diameter at the top and 4.125 inches at the bottom. blue & white
