Ornamental vessels with initials: Paper Marks

Illustrator not identified

Large two-handled vessels carry initials and branching finials in Plate XIX. Their outlines vary from rounded pots to tall narrow bodies, with small added circles above. These are drawn paper-mark specimens in Pott’s book, giving readers a view of repeated motifs rather than photographs of ceramic vessels.
