Description
Tin-glazed earthenware painted in blue, green, yellow, and brownish-yellow
Earthenware, slab-built, with hand modelled details, pierced, tin-glazed, and painted in blue, green, yellow, and brownish-yellow; the base is unglazed. Rectangular with a high-pitched roof decorated along its ridge with ten balls at intervals. In the middle there is a large tower within the building , and at either end at the back, a smaller tower, all with conical rooves. On either side of the central tower there is a triple ball finial on the ridge. There are two dormers in the roof at the front, and the front and back walls are pierced by window openings: two with four panes in the back; and two with four panes and two with one pane at the front. Between them at the front is a tall rectangular opening with two arched doors which are open, so that you can see the arched opening at the bottom of the tower. There is a circular opening in both gable ends, and the small towers, and small rectangular openings in their back walls. The back of the roof is painted green, and the front in yellow with brownish-yellow tile outlines. The turrets are striped in blue, yellow and brownish-yellow. The front wall is checked in blue on the left and in blue and yellow on the right, and the insides of the doors are blue with green edges. The back wall is outlined in blue. The interior is undecorated except for a green area inside the door. The left gable end wall is decorated with a yellow tulip and blue leaves, and the right gable with a blue daisy with a yellow centre and blue leaves.
