Description

Pearlware, painted underglaze in green, yellow, and brown, with a sheaf of corn and agricultural implements

White earthenware, thrown, with applied handle, painted in green, yellow, and dark brown under blue-tinted glaze. The jug has an ovoid body with a cylindrical neck, sparrow-beak lip, and strap handle of shallow D section. It is decorated on the front with a small barrel-shaped flask beside a sheaf of corn with a rake projecting from it on the right, and a scythe on the left. On the right side there is a plough, and on the left, a harrow. There are two brown bands round the rim and lip, and one just above the base. The handle has a large brown on top next to its junction with the body, and down its back, three arrow heads alternating with dots, with a long stroke below
