Description

Two fragments (adjacent) of a plate rim. Pale red earthenware tin-glazed on both sides and painted in blue. Part of a border of scrolling foliage interrupted by blue 'bull's eye' motifs and on the outer edge, a narrow band and a wider band. On the back of one piece there is a blue squiggle and on the other the ends of three blue lines, perhaps a crossed rhomboid.
