The centre is finely incised with two long-tailed parrots chasing each other in flight, suggesting a rapid swirling movement, the sides are incised with ten cloud motifs and the outside is undecorated. The glaze is evenly applied, of pale bluish green, with a subtle gloss. The base shows three quartzite spur-marks. | Format: | text/html | License: | http://www.fitzmuseum.cam.ac.uk/terms.htm | Publisher: | The Fitzwilliam Museum, Cambridge, UK | Rights holder: | The Fitzwilliam Museum, Cambridge, UK | Subjects: | dish Unknown stoneware | Temporal: | name=12th Century; start=1100; end=1150 | Source: | Fitzwilliam Museum | Creator: | The Fitzwilliam Museum, Cambridge, UK | Identifier: | http://www.fitzmuseum.cam.ac.uk/opacdire... | Language: | en-GB | Format: | text/html | Go to resource |
