IDENTIFIERS ----------- id: 75347 accession number: C.51-1911 DATE AUDIT ---------- created: Saturday 6 August 2011 updated: Tuesday 12 June 2012 DESCRIPTIVE DATA ---------------- object type: fritware, probably wheel thrown, coated in a white slip painted in three shades of blue under a colourless glaze. Shape: inverted pear shaped body with a cylindrical neck, sits on a low foot ring. Exterior: on the neck a curling leaf pattern is visible. On the shoulder, contained within panels with bracketed lower sections, further curling leaves and a flower head or a stylised lotus blossoms are painted. On the body, does and stags, along with occasional insects prance in a hilly landscape with stylised pagodas and floral sprays. Large sprays of lilies spring from palm like leaves separate each group of animals. On the lower body a series of interlocking lappets and on the foot a concentric band of further flower heads and curling leaves. On the underside of the foot a black tassel mark is painted. The glaze covers the entire surface with the exception of the rim of the foot ring and a small area on the body. A scar mark on the body probably results from contact with another vessel in the kiln.
