Shape: flat everted rim on a hemispherical bowl sitting on a low, wide foot ring. Interior: painted on the rim, a narrow band of blue dots and a wider frieze of hour glass shapes in blue or black. On the body, a frieze of cross-hatched blue palmettes is painted against a background of black lines and leaves. On the base, another frieze of alternately coloured hour glass shapes frames a roundel in which a six pointed black star, containing a palmette, is painted against a blue cross-hatched background. Scars on the base possibly result from impurities in the fabric, which have exploded in the kiln. Exterior: rim is painted black, while on the body a frieze of black, feathery foliage is interspersed with large blue dots, all contained within concentric black lines. object type: fritware, painted in black and blue under a clear glaze title: bowl 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.
