Dateca. 1740
MediumTin-glazed earthenware (delft)
DimensionsDiam: 3 1/16" H: 3 9/16
Credit LineMuseum Purchase
Object number1972-381,B
DescriptionSaucer of shallow bowl form with low foot ring. Whitish tin glaze decorated in blue with an oriental scene of a bird on a curved branch above some rockwork. Brown-red rim.
Label TextThe decoration on this saucer is more closely related to Japanese Kakiemon designs than to the Chinese patterns commonly found on English delft.

Although acquired with a delft tea cup (accession 1972-381, 1), the two pieces have different patterns and colors and presumably did not start out together.
