Painted Tin-Glazed Bowl Base Sherds

Two unmending base sherds from a light yellow bodied tin-glazed earthenware bowl with white glaze on one surface and a blue and red painted decoration on top of white glaze on the interior. The face has a delicately painted design with medium blue filled in with dark red lines. The red painted coloring appears to be over the glaze while the blue appears under the glaze. One of the base sherds is flat with a fairly tall angled footring. The other sherd is from the same vessel but may be from the body or the base. Sherds are from the same vessel in neighboring context but do not mend.
