IDENTIFIERS ----------- id: 76765 accession number: C.2886 & A-1928 DATE AUDIT ---------- created: Saturday 6 August 2011 updated: Tuesday 1 September 2020 DESCRIPTIVE DATA ---------------- object type: Buff earthenware, moulded in separate parts, assembled, tin-glazed, and painted naturalistically in bluish-green, yellow, and manganese-purple. The melon is roughly pear-shaped, with a broad stalk at the narrow end, on either side of which there is a stalk and a large leaf. Part of another leaf projects from below the wide end of the melon. The cover is domed, more so at the wide end than the narrow, and on top has a stalk with two narrow leaves. Another feature, perhaps a bud or another leaf forming the knob is missing. A large yellow and manganese-purple snail grazes on the stalk of the lower part. On the underside of the leaves and melon there are three spur marks. object type: tin-glazed earthenware painted in bluish-green, yellow, and manganese-purple title: box NOTES ----- type: history note value: David Kugelmann, Kissingen, from whom purchased for 25 marks on 2 August 1899 by Dr J.W.L.
