| Place of origin |
Dish of tin-glazed earthenware, painted. Frederick King of Bohemia and his wife Elizabeth with ten children in mid-green, ochre, and blue inscribed M/H M/ 1614. They stand on a blue chequered floor. The border is of blue leaves in ochre and the rim has blue rings and orange dashes on an ochre ring. Three stilt marks on the front (10 cms point to point).
Body colour: Reddish buff with dark red streaks. Glaze: Dull white. A lead-glaze intermittently covers the back with some traces of tin in the glaze and a number of protruding white dot-like inclusions (raw spots of tin?). The foot-rim has probably been partially wiped clean of glaze.
Shape: Shape A with a more pronounced groove just inside the upper rim. Foot-rim pierced with a single hole. (Alphabetic shape codes as used in appendix to Archer. Delftware. 1997)
