Exterior: a pendant fleur de lis pattern is painted on the upper neck mirrored by a frieze of leaves on the lower neck. On the shoulder, flowers are painted on scrolling tendrils. On the body, a band of leaves is painted above the principal decoration comprising a frieze of figures dressed in western style clothes. The frieze is divided into three scenes, each separated by a floral spray with a bird and often a butterfly. In the first scene, confronted males sitting either side of a narrow, leafy tree, below which two quadrupeds, probably dogs, look on. The second scene depicts a mounted horseman brandishing a gun; the third scene depicts a young male and an older bearded male crossing a bridge towards a domed building, probably a shrine. Glaze covers the surface unevenly, leaving areas where the fabric of the vessel is visible. Interior: undecorated except for glaze. object type: fritware painted in blue under a transparent glaze title: jar NOTES ----- type: history note value: From the Joseph Dixon Collection, sold at Christie’s, 16th-17th March, 1911, lot 139 LICENSING --------- text license status: CC0 image license status: CC-BY-NC-SA OWNERSHIP --------- instutition: The Fitzwilliam Museum department: Applied Arts creditline: Given by the Friends of the Fitzwilliam Museum STABLE URL ---------- url: https://data.fitzmuseum.cam.ac.uk/id/object/75244 PEOPLE ------------------- confronted figures horseman figures crossing bridge SUBJECTS ------------------- dogs birds butterfly floral spray dogs birds butterfly floral spray TECHNIQUES ---------- fritware, wheel thrown, painted in blue under a transparent glaze throwing TECHNIQUES ---------- glazing (coating) CATEGORIES ------ category: fritware (stonepaste) DATING ------ creation date: 1800 - 1899 creation date earliest: 1800 creation date latest: 1899 culture: 19th Century CREATORS -------- maker: Unknown DIMENSIONS ---------- dimension: Height units: cm value: 35.8 dimension: Weight units: g value: 3660 dimension: Width units: cm value: 24.4 CITATIONS -------- The Collection of Rhodian, Damascus, Persian and Hispano-Mauro Faience of the Late Joseph Dixon, Esq.
