Description: | This punch bowl was probably made at one of the many North East potteries. It is made of pearlware, a type of cream coloured earthenware. It is decorated with a blue and white landscape pattern, imitating imported Oriental porcelain. It may have been used officially by Newcastle City Council, as in the centre of the bowl is the City coat of arms. On either side of the shield are 'hippocampi', imaginary marine animals with the front half of a horse and the tail of a fish. | License: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/about/copyright/ | Rights holder: | Tyne & Wear Museums | Subjects: | politics living in the North East beyond Tyne and Wear art made in the North East ceramics date period industry | Source: | Tyne and Wear Imagine | Identifier: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/details/index.... | Go to resource |
