Description

Earthenware, pierced and tin-glazed

Earthenware, tin-glazed overall; the glaze has been wiped off the rim of the foot. The bowl stands on a low, trumpet-shaped foot; the sides curve outwards and then upwards in a convex curve to the wavy rim. In the middle is a circular, slightly convex area from which radiate ten ribs with pierced panels between them. The ribs end about half-way up the sides. The zone above is decorated with two horizontal rows of pierced ornament.
