Potter: Unknown
Fritware painted in blue, black and turquoise under a white glaze
Fritware, wheel thrown, painted in blue, turquoise and black under a transparent white glaze.
Shape: pear shaped body with a long, straight neck and sitting on a low, wide foot ring. A strap handle is attached to the neck and upper body.
Exterior: rim is painted black. The body is divided into panels with designs predominantly outlined in black and coloured with blue or turquoise, occasionally appearing in relief as the result of underlying slip. These panels comprise leafy sprays, on the lower body divided by blue panels, leaves and circles reserved in blue; and finally dotted triangles. On the lower body black vertical lines radiate from the base. The edges of the handle are painted blue framing a central line of black dashes. Glaze covers the surface thickly to the lower body with thinner coverage over the foot ring, with the exception of the rim.
Interior: black paint continues on the rim. Glaze covers the surface to the lower neck.
