Pottery: Unknown
Earthenware with cream glaze painted in blue and lustre
Dark pink earthenware, wheel thrown, with cream opaque glaze painted yellow or brown lustre occasionally highlighted in blue.
Shape: roughly semi-circular section of low foot ring that formed part of a bowl.
Interior: fish painted in lustre and occasionally coloured in blue, the latter with lustre features. The background is decorated with lustre scrolls. Scar from a tripod stacking device used in firing is visible.
Exterior: the underside of foot ring is glazed and has a circular radiating rosette pattern, enclosed in a concentric circle, both painted in lustre. The body has a concentric band in two tone lustre (yellow and brown) above which lustre diagonal lines radiate toward the upper body. Scar on foot ring probably resulted from stacking bowls during firing.
