Custard Cup

Pattern Category: Greek

Object Type: Dinner and Dessert Wares

Dimensions:

  • Height: 3.5 inches

Source: Greek Pattern Source

Description:

This pattern is printed in blue underglaze on an earthenware cutard cup.  The Greek pattern consists of three elements; the "vases" in the border, the "central" prints (this is where the titles are derived) and the "panels" in the border. Pieces without "central" prints have no actual pattern name, but are decorated with unique "panels". These tend to be shapes that didn't lend themselves to being printed with a central design, such as small items or hollow wares. These pieces and patterns are to be listed purely in the shapes section as they have no pattern title.  Below is another view of the piece.  Click on it to enlarge.
