Unidentified Orvieto pottery
(Production)
Two joined fragments of a bowl. Pale red earthenware, tin-glazed pale beige on both sides. Painted in blue, yellow, and orange. Part of the disk base, and curved sides and rim of a bowl. Inside, there is a part of the central medallion filled with a trellis with spots in the spaces, surrounded by part of concentric circles: four blue, one orange, and two blue. The glaze on the exterior is crazed.
History note: According to a label accompanying a group of fragments, including this one, given by R.C. Bosanquet, they were 'Mostly bought at Orvieto; some pieces, (marked P at back) from Perugia. The Orvieto pieces, with a few exceptions, were found in excavating foundations for houses near the Cathedral.'
