Description, scan 2
A photographic print on a pale card mount shows a single-handled vessel with a tall, narrow neck and a small projecting lug on the shoulder. Its rounded body has dark painted bands and worn, spotted surface. Parts of other vessels appear at the left and right edges, and whitish flaking shows on the print's edges.
Description, scan 3
A shallow bowl with a wide, flat rim and sloping sides is photographed from the side, with a light rim across the top and a dark, shaded interior and outer wall. A thin crack runs down the body. Pale blue-grey painted areas fill the background around the vessel, and handwritten labels sit in both lower corners of the cream card mount.
