Printed Whiteware Body Sherds

Two mended blue transfer-printed body sherds from a hollowware vessel. The vessel sports both interior and exterior decoration. The exterior uses Chinese-inspired imagery with a floral design, perhaps meant to be marigolds. The interior rim features a Chinoiserie border with geometric motifs and flowers.
