Splash glazed vase with possible glaze colours, trial piece?

01-trial-piece

Splash glazed footed vase with flared rim. The rim is slip-painted with numbers 201, 202 and 203 which, if they refer to glaze colours, would make this a trial piece, and the only one known to exist. Colour 202 seems to have been selected, as it has a dab of clear glaze over it.

Note: This piece, now in private hands, was originally part of a washstand set with identical splashed glaze, now in the Ironbridge Gorge Museum collection.
