Tin-glazed earthenware vase with opposing ring handles, decorated in blue and ochre on an off-white glaze. There are blue bands around the neck and foot and the body is decorated with a bird amid foliage. By the early 1500s, Italian potters skilled in the art of tin-glazed earthenware pottery had settled in Antwerp to practise their trade. The Antwerp potteries supplied Londoners with decorative floor tiles as well as vases, jugs, dishes and bowls.
