Description: Bottle with lotus design. Stoneware, thrown, covered with white slip, carved and punch'ong-glazed. The pear-shaped bottle has a flaring (restored) neck and a slightly splayed foot. The heavy body was pared except for a small area above the foot, which is set off by a distinct ridge. The bottle is covered with a thick layer of white slip through which the outlines of a petal border and a broad band of lotus flowers have been carved, which now appear in slight relief in white against the grey of the exposed body, and all is covered with a pale green glaze. The foot and base are largely glazed, the base has incised markings. | 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 stoneware bottle | Temporal: | name=15th century; start=1400; end=1500 | 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 |
