Description

Two joined fragments of the base and side of a bowl with a narrow rim. Pale red earthenware, the rim and interior coated with cream slip, incised, coloured in green, yellow and manganese-brown, and lead-glazed on both sides and the base.
The bowl has a flat centre, deep almost straight sides and a narrow rim.
The flat area is decorated with a pointed leaf and two indeterminate brown motifs. The sides are divided by horizontal and vertical yellow bands into two panels containing respectively a green and a brown leaf of a different type. The rim is decorated overlapping Ss, alternately green and yellow.

Notes

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.
