Description

Earthenware tin-glazed pale turquoise-green and painted in slate-blue, pale green, deep yellow, and manganese-purple with Tudor roses on leafy stems springing from a mound

Reddish-buff earthenware, the front tin-glazed pale turquoise-green and painted in slate-blue, pale green, deep yellow, and manganese-purple; the reverse probably coated with pale slip, and covered with yellowish-brown lead-glaze with radiating streaks. Circular with shallow curved sides slightly everted rim, standing on a footring. The front is decorated with three dark yellow and purple Tudor roses on leafy stems springing from a mound. Above the mound is a slate-blue curved line with strokes over it, perhaps a low fence. Round the edge there are two narrow manganese bands and a wider green band.
