A1982.14.136Description
Red earthenware with manganese glaze; vessel trimmed on a lathe. Overglaze decoration of floral spray that is mostly ephemeral and best seen in raking light. The manganese was wiped away at the base, and additional glaze onto the body in this area to extend the floral decoration. Refined body; fine turning.
English manufacture.
This is the only example of overglaze decorated red earthenware that I have encountered.Context
