Two joined fragments of a bowl with a narrow rim. Buff earthenware, tin-glazed off-white, rather thinly and unevenly on both sides. Painted in dark blue and yellow. The fragments form about half of the well with part of the rim, attached to a length of rim. In the centre is a yellow disk surrounded by four concentric blue circles. On the rim there is a broad yellow band flanked by groups of three dark blue, narrow, concentric circles.
History note: According to a label accompanying a group of fragments, including this one, given by R.C. Bosanquet in 1904, they were 'Mostly bought in 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.'
