(Photo © Jonathan Gray, by permission of Sotheby’s.) There are almost identical characteristics to letters found in the hand-painted inscription on the jug: the uppercase W and L; the lowercase a, which has an upward extension of the right side; and the lowercase d, f, l, p, and t, which are all made with a single stroke. It is, of course, easier to flourish handwriting on paper than painted script on a ceramic. |
