Production: Unidentified Orvieto pottery (Probably)
Buff earthenware with remnants of yellowish-brown lead-glazed on the exterior, and tin-glazed on the interior and the front. Painted in blue and yellow. Fragment of about three-quarters of the disk-base, and a little of the sides of a dish or bowl. Decorated with part of the central medallion containing a yellow trellis with T-shaped blue splodges in the spaces, surrounded by two concentric blue circles, a yellow circle with blue oblique strokes over it, and two blue circles.
History note: According to a label accompanying a group of fragments including this one, given by R.C. Bosanquet, they were 'Mostly bought at Orvietop; 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.'
