Potter: Unknown
Fritware painted in black and turquoise under a clear or turquoise glaze
Buff fritware, wheel thrown, painted in turquoise and black under a clear crazed glaze coloured turquoise on the exterior.
Shape: biconical bowl with plain rim and moderately high foot ring.
Interior: rim is painted turquoise, while the body is decorated with a frieze enclosed above and below by black concentric lines. The frieze contains panels of black dots, commas and arching lines, which separate turquoise triangles painted using diagonal strokes. On the base, a roundel enclosed by black lines contains an abstract stemmed turquoise palmette, surrounded by black painted lines (both jagged and arching) and dots.
Exterior: on the upper body a concentric intermittent black line is painted. The body and foot ring are both glazed although the surface is slightly pitted and the colour and coverage are uneven. A scar on the rim probably resulted from contact with another vessel in the kiln.
