QuerinoPolychrome

TYPE: Querino Polychrome

DATE: A.D. 1125 to 1300 (Carlson, 1970;25)

COMMON DESIGNS: Interior designs are the same as found on Wingate Black-on-Red. Occasionally white outlines some of the black interior designs. Exteriors usually have large red and white designs opposed to each other.

KEY DIFFERENCES: Querino Polychrome exteriors have a combination of red and white slips or large designs opposed to each other. The slips or paints are not applied over or on each other, rather they are separate, touching only where they meet. Wingate Polychrome usually has red designs painted directly on an all-over exterior white slip.

COMMENTS: Considered by many to be a variety of Wingate Polychrome, Querino Polychrome is different technologically.

1Y Querino Polychrome bowl with white outlining black designs on the interior, and alternating

red and white bands of slip on the exterior.

Approximate Dimensions: 8 1/2" or 21.5 cm. by 4 1/8" or 10.5 cm.

2N Querino Polychrome Bowl

3N Querino Polychrome Bowl. The fine interior design proves this likely to be a late example.

The exterior has a wide white band, and a most interesting painting of a human that apparently lost one finger. Perhaps the bowl once belonged to an individual that once had an accident and severed the finger. The severed finger is clearly painted a distance away from the right hand.

Approximate Dimensions: 7 3/4" by 3 5/8"

4N Querino Polychrome Bowl

5N Querino Polychrome Bowl

Approximate Dimensions: 9" by 4 1/2"

6N Querino Polychrome Bowl painted in a "Puerco" Design or, should it be called a Puerco Polychrome?

White Slip added to the bottom makes this vessel a polychrome.

Approximate Dimensions: 7 3/4" by 3 1/2"
