IDENTIFIERS ----------- id: 75256 accession number: C.482-1991 DATE AUDIT ---------- created: Saturday 6 August 2011 updated: Monday 25 March 2024 DESCRIPTIVE DATA ---------------- object type: fritware, probably wheel thrown, painted in blue and outlined in darker blue under a clear glaze Shape: segmental bowl with a plain rim on a near horizontal lip, sits on a low, wide foot ring. Interior: on the lip a scrolling frieze of flowers and leaves are painted within two concentric bands. On the body, sprays containing a central flower and leafy stems are separated by scrolling lines. On the roundel, a frog walks amongst a grassy, crescent shaped landscape towards two irregular shapes (possibly stylised pagodas) made from lozenges or cross-hatches; the frog carries a lantern on a pole over his shoulder. Above, a phoenix with a long trailing tail, and whose head is surrounded by cloud scrolls, descends from the sky parallel to a hillock with a sprouting floral spray. Exterior: on the body, a repeating frieze of folded lotus leaves, resembling a fungus, with scrolling stems are separated by stylised trefoils and stars. This frieze is enclosed within two concentric lines; a further parallel set of concentric lines is painted on the foot ring. The glaze runs unevenly over the exterior body leaving small areas uncovered; on the base it does not cover the rim of the foot ring but is present on the underside where three tassel marks are painted. object type: fritware painted in blue under a clear glaze title: dish NOTES ----- type: history note value: Henry Scipio Reitlinger (d. 1950); Reitlinger Trust, Maidenhead LICENSING --------- text license status: CC0 image license status: CC-BY-NC-SA OWNERSHIP --------- instutition: The Fitzwilliam Museum department: Applied Arts collection: Henry Scipio Reitlinger creditline: H.
