Production: Unidentified Orvieto pottery (Probably)
Two fragments of the side and stump of the handle of a jug. Buff earthenware, lead-glazed on the inside, tin-glazed on the outside, and painted in blue and dark yellow. Part of a border of blue horizontal bands flanking dark yellow motifs, perhaps leaves.
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.'
