Pottery: Unidentified Orvieto pottery
Two fragments of a two-handled bowl. Pinkish-buff earthenware, the exterior lead-glazed greenish-yellow; the interior tin-glazed pale pinkish-grey. Painted in dark manganese and green.
Two curved sections of rim each with a loop handle attached.
Inside there are sections of two concentric circles surrounding the missing central motif, a wavy green band and a manganese.
History note: According to a label accompanying a group of fragments including this one given by R.C. Bosanquet they were 'Mostly bought at Orvieto; some pieces (marked P at back) from Perugia. The Orvieto pieces, with a few exceptions were found in excavating foundations for houses near the Cathedral.' Bosanquet visited Orvieto in late July 1904.
