Pottery: Unidentified Manises pottery
Moulded earthenware dish tin-glazed and painted in copper lustre
Buff earthenware, moulded, tin-glazed cream, and painted in pale brown lustre. Circular with a central boss, curved well, and wide sloping rim with twenty-one slanting gadroons. On the boss there is a plant motif within a circle, surrounded by a broad band of lustre. The sides of the well are divided by four wide radiating stripes into compartments each containing a fruit and two leaves. Beyond this there is a border of oval shapes flanked by curved and angular lines. The gadroons are alternately lustred overall, or decorated with a plant motif or a dotted diaper pattern. A broad band encircles the edge. Radiating from the centre of the reverse there are four narrow concentric bands, a broader band, and six narrow bands, beyond which is a border of six coiling stems bearing fern-like leaves, oval leaves and buds (?). A suspension hole has been pierced in slightly off centre at the top of the rim.
