Fritware coated in white glaze painted in lustre and brown paint
Pinkish fritware, wheel thrown and painted in brown pigment and ustre under or over a white glaze.
Shape: conical bowl with a low foot ring and a plain rim
Interior: on the rim a dentillated pattern is painted in lustre. A dense shoal of fish is painted on the body, swimming in a whorl around the roundel which contains a rosette with overlapping petals. Both fish and rosette are painted in reserve against a lustred background into which scrolls are incised on the body.
Exterior: a dentillated pattern, of larger scale than that on the interior, is painted on the rim. On the body ‘ear muff’ style palmettes are painted in reserve against a lustred background, below which a pair of lustre concentric lines mark the edge of decoration. Glaze runs unevenly onto the foot ring.
