Monochrome brown overglaze painting is called sepia painting or sepia camaïeu. Cylindrical pots with angular handle and landscape painting are the coffee pots of the period around 1800; in Thuringia the manufactories of Gotha, Wallendorf and Volkstedt made such pots with sepia-painted river landscapes, architecture and figure staffage. The cylindrical pot with sepia painting is thus a coffee pot with landscape painting of the Empire period, as produced by Thuringian porcelain.
