IDENTIFIERS ----------- id: 75334 accession number: C.506-1991 DATE AUDIT ---------- created: Saturday 6 August 2011 updated: Friday 8 February 2019 DESCRIPTIVE DATA ---------------- object type: Brown wheel-thrown earthenware coated with a cream slip which is incised under an amber glaze. Shape: Tall conical bowl with plain rim and steeply sloping sides with a horizontal ridge on lower body exterior, descending via a sharp carination onto a foot ring with slightly flaring profile. Interior: Yellow surface colour produced from a thick cream slip coating under an amber glaze. On the upper body a pair of concentric lines frames a frieze of paired leaves or petals surrounded by scrolls. On the lower body, a concentric scalloped line is located above three fish with features including eyes and fins. On the base, within concentric lines, an incised palmette is surrounded by scrolling lines. Exterior: rim is glazed but with no underlying slip, producing a dark brown colour. Remainder of exterior surface is yellow in colour but slightly different in tone and glassier in appearance to vessel interior, possibly as the result of a thinner cream slip under the amber glaze. On the upper body two concentric lines enclose a frieze of fishes, surrounded by scrolls. On the lower body, immediately above the carination, a repeating vegetal pattern of abstract palmettes and scrolls is incised. object type: Brown earthenware with cream slip incised under an amber glaze title: bowl NOTES ----- type: history note value: Henry Scipio Reitlinger (d. 1950); Reitlinger Trust, Maidenhead LICENSING --------- text license status: CC0 image license status: CC-BY-NC-SA OWNERSHIP --------- instutition: The Fitzwilliam Museum department: Applied Arts collection: Henry Scipio Reitlinger creditline: H.
