Printed Whiteware Ladle Rim Sherd

A blue transfer printed whiteware sherd from a flatware vessel, likely a ladle. The undecorated exterior shows scratches across its surface, likely acquired from coming into contact with the interior of a bowl or tureen. The interior border uses a repeating floral design and the central scene shows a girl on a horse carrying a basket while accompanied by a second figure.
