encountered on hollowwares from both Chinaman's Well and Chinaman's
Garden Well.
(Items 710 and 747)
(refer photograph 15)
Although from quadrats eleven meters apart, the four pieces which
comprise these items appear to be from two large (more than 15 inches
diameter) flat platters. The pieces are all derived from the base but two
include part of the foot-ring. They bear parts of a black painted
manufacturer's mark, possibly comprised of Chinese or Japanese
characters, plus impressed marks which appear to be Arabic numerals.
(Item 730)
(not photographed)
This item comprises two pieces of the rim of a white platter or plate.
Although not clearly associated with items 710 and 747, the material, rim
circumference, body thickness and the similarities in the way the glaze on
these two pieces has crazed lends considerable weight to the likelihood
that they are from a similar item of tableware. The rim is plain.
8.1.7b Bowls
(Item 672)
(refer photograph 16a)
The rim side and foot ring, plus a little more than half the base of a green
transfer-printed bowl. The motif is perhaps of middle-eastern or Indian
derivation. There is no manufacturer's mark on the piece. Inside the rim is
decorated with a motif which comprises a minor part of that on the exterior.
(Item 689)
(refer photograph16b)
A bowl with green transfer-printed fern motif around the rim below a chain
of leaves. A flower is also included in the motif - perhaps a fuchsia or
lychee. The 'chain of leaves' motif appears also on the inside of the rim.
This piece comprises the rim and side to just above the footring.
(Item 749)
(refer photograph 17a)
This is part of the side and foot-rim of another green transfer-printed bowl.
Only part of the side is present. This appears to be decorated with green
bamboo fronds. On the base is at least part of a manufacturer's mark - the
number 13.
8.1.7c Ginger Jars
(Item 709) (refer photograph 17b) and (item 717) (not photographed)
As with the platter fragments mentioned above, these items, although
separated by eleven or so meters, appear to be from the one ginger jar.
