Scope note
Ceramic vessels that have multiple spouts emerging from the body volume. Designs vary from pyramidal multi-piece stacking structures to smaller single-piece forms. These first appeared in the Netherlands in the 17th century and were decorated in the style of Delftware with its typical blue-on-white surface mimicing Chinese decoration.
