Potter: Unknown
Fritware, painted in blue green and black under a clear glaze and framed in ebonised wood.
Fritware, mould made, painted (possibly on a white slip) in blue, green and black under a clear glaze and framed in ebonised wood.
Shape: a panel of ten square tiles set in a rectangular ebonised frame made in sections and lobed on top edge
Upper surface: all decoration is outlined in black, painted in green or blue and reserved in blue. In the centre, a white flower pot with flaring base, split palmette handles and a double mouth is painted with saz leaves and flowers. Emanating from this pot, a floral bouquet of tulips and carnations radiates over the upper half of the panel. The vase is flanked by cypress trees springing from grassy tufts along with further saz leaves and flowers. A cross-hatch boarder is just visible, obscured by the frame at the top right hand corner. The tiles are enclosed by a ebonised wood frame, gilded with key hole and leaf shapes, on the top edge and inscribed on the bottom edge.
Lower surface: not visible due to plaster, wood and card backing.
