IDENTIFIERS ----------- id: 222899 accession number: C.34-2017 DATE AUDIT ---------- created: Tuesday 28 November 2017 updated: Monday 29 April 2024 DESCRIPTIVE DATA ---------------- object type: Vertical cylindrical form rising from a gently curved convex base and decorated with white glazed bands set against a smokey-black ground, produced by the raku firing. A broad white band near the top and a thin white band near the bottom run half way round the vessel leading, on the other half, to a complex pattern of interwoven diagonal bands. On this half the glaze has crackled towards the top. The clay towards the top of the interior has been chamfered, finishing in a very thin rim with rough upper edge. The inside is mainly glazed white, with a black banding design near the top and black speckles concentrating near the bottom of the sides. The curve of the underside means that there is very little contact with the supporting surface, giving a sense that the vessel hovers above it. object type: ‘T’ material, thrown, spray glazed over masking tape and raku fired. title: vessel NOTES ----- type: history note value: Purchased by donor from Atmosphere, Regents Park Road, London NW1, 9 September, 1978, price £100.
