IDENTIFIERS ----------- id: 15331 accession number: EC.9-1941 DATE AUDIT ---------- created: Saturday 6 August 2011 updated: Tuesday 30 April 2024 DESCRIPTIVE DATA ---------------- object type: Square, buff-red, earthenware tile, decorated in blue, glazed and finished with silver/copper lustre. The under-glaze design of eight fantasy ducks or dragon-birds surrounded by stylised leaves, which covers the whole upper surface, has been applied by transfer, with the duck shapes filled with thinly applied blue. The leaves are painted over with lustre, which shows silver-gold or pink as the light changes. Some of the ducks face to the left, and some to the right, resisting any sense of unidirectional movement. The blue has run slightly into the slip. The back and the sides are unglazed. title: tile NOTES ----- type: history note value: Given by Mr H C Mossop LICENSING --------- text license status: CC0 image license status: CC-BY-NC-SA OWNERSHIP --------- instutition: The Fitzwilliam Museum department: Applied Arts creditline: Given by H.C.
