Painted Tin-Glazed Bowl Body/Rim Sherd

(1600 - 1800)

One rim sherd and one body sherd 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 interior rim has a delicately painted design with medium blue diagonal lines intersecting dark red lines. The red painted coloring appears to be over the glaze while the blue appears under the glaze. There is an overglaze painted red line along the edge of the rim, although most of this decoration is missing due to the missing glaze. The sherds are mended. Sherds from the same vessel are in a neighboring context, but those sherds do not mend and were cataloged separately.
