Fritsch, Elizabeth
We’re working on releasing this image.
Vase, stoneware, upright form standing on an elongated rhomboid base, vertical sides curving in towards the near-rectangular rim; the whole painted inside and out with a ground of matt blue-green slip, this overlaid on the front and shoulders with a pattern of green zigzags (diagonally top left to bottom right) modified and compressed as it moves anti-clockwise round the form, this pattern in turn overlaid with a pattern of particles rising in opposing diagonals (bottom left to top right), each particle comprising an upright blue rectangle surmounted by a yellow ochre rhomboid, a circular green moon form on the reverse, a yellow ochre line round the rim.
