Potter: Unknown
Fritware painted in brown, blue and black under a transparent glaze
Fritware, moulded, painted in brown and blue with outlining in black, under a transparent glaze.
Shape: rectangular with a plain rim, the shorter sides are lobbed, sits on a low rectangular foot ring.
Interior: rim is painted brown, below which a frieze of dots is contained within two lines. On the base a floral spray emanates from a stylised hillock.
Exterior: panel decoration reflects the shape of the vessel. On the two longest sides a bird sits surrounded by leaves and flowers, painted in reserve against a blue background. On the shorter lobbed sides, a central panel contains a fleurs de-lis shape in which two stylised flowers are painted in reserve against a blue background. These central panels are flanked either side by vertical friezes of quatre-foil flowers, again painted in reserve against a blue background. A pair of blue lines is painted on the foot ring. The glaze does not cover the rim of the foot but does continue onto the underside, albeit with uneven coverage. An irregular blue dot is present on the underside of the foot ring but this does not appear to be a mark.
