On the sides, formal plants alternate with coronets to which they are linked by scrolling foliage. On the rim is a border of paired laurel leaves between blue bands, the inner band decorated with rectangles and dots, and the outer with slanting lines to resemble a rope. The edge is yellow. The back is decorated with a thickly painted blue spiral in the centre, two widely spaced brownish-orange concentric circles, and a third next to the rim. Between them are narrow blue concentric circles, and, next to the rim, a wider blue circle. | 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 tin-glazed earthenware Unknown | Temporal: | name=early 16th Century; start=1500; end=1530 | 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 |
