Printed Whiteware Rim Sherd

A transfer printed whiteware rim sherd from a flatware vessel. The border design uses alternating floral cartouches and panels enclosing a landscape with an urn balanced upon a short wall. The background of the border uses repeating horizontal lines. The design is rendered in black, but the surface is colored with a light blue wash.
