Description

Fritware painted in black under a turquoise glaze

Pinkish buff fritware, probably wheel thrown, painted in black under a crazed turquoise glaze.
Shape: T-shaped rim above an angular neck descending via a sharp carination onto a conical bowl and low foot ring,
Interior: rim edges are painted with a concentric band, while further bands on the upper body delineate a scrolling vegetal pattern, comprising stems and leaves which radiate from a central circular cartouche on the base. Both the interiors of larger leaves and central cartouche are filled with a cross-hatch design.
Exterior: linear decoration on the rim continues. On the neck a frieze of commas divided by vertical lines of dots are contained within two concentric lines. On the lower body thin lines form vertical, narrow ‘V’ shapes. Glaze on the lower body is thin and in places pitted, it runs to a point just above the foot ring.
