Oviform Ginger-Jar with Bell-Shaped Cover, Munson-Williams-Proctor Institute

A sketch of a ginger-jar and cover decorated with sprays of hawthorn blossom.

The Thompson catalogue described this subject as 'Oviform Ginger-Jar with Bell-shaped Cover; closely drawn hawthorn stem and blossom on a ground of transparent wavy blue (brilliant colour); round the edge a band of ornament. Height, 10 inches.' 1

It is a careful sketch, very close to the final illustration, Oviform Ginger-Jar with Bell-Shaped Cover [M.0601].
