Description: | James Tower used the term 'chest form' to refer to this type of vessel. He named this particular piece after the flowers, gardens and ceramics of Boursa, Turkey. The pattern plays on positive and negative shape. Depending on how it is read, the pattern can be seen to describe fern-like leaves on a white background. Alternatively, if the whole of the surface is viewed as one plane, the pattern depicts broader leaves, the darker colour describing the veins of the leaves. | License: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/about/copyright/ | Rights holder: | Tyne & Wear Museums | Subjects: | beyond the North East craft makers ceramics other cultures contemporary craft | Source: | Tyne and Wear Imagine | Identifier: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/details/index.... | Go to resource |
