Description: Ewer and cover with lotus and cloud designs. Stoneware, thrown, with parts attached, incised and celadon-glazed. This ewer has a tall waisted neck with a raised ridge where it meets the angled shoulder. The spout is very long, the strap-shaped handle is attached at the shoulder and continues almost down to the base. The footring is low. The flat dish-shaped cover has a lotus-bud knob and a small loop at the rim corresponding to a loop on top of the handle. The body is incised with a large lotus flower on either side and a border of lotus petals at the base, while the shoulder and neck feature cloud motifs spaciously arranged. The glaze is of pale blue-green colour, clear and glossy, and somewhat discoloured at the top of the neck. The footring has been wiped free of glaze and shows traces of fire-clay spurs. | 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: | Unknown ewer stoneware | Temporal: | name=12th Century; start=1100; end=1200 | 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 |
