Pottery: Unknown (Possibly)
Off-white fritware bowl, with large iron rich inclusion visible on the base, wheel thrown, painted in blue and black under a colourless glaze. Pale buff where unglazed.
Shape: hemispherical bowl on a narrow, low foot ring. Slightly convex base.
Interior: the rim is dotted with blue. On the body a whorl of stylised fish swim around a central rosette, bisected by an ‘S’ shape, both are outlined in black and partially coloured with blue.
Exterior: a stylised petal design comprises a series of vertical and horizontal lines. Glaze runs over the surface to a point on the lower body, leaving areas of underglaze paint uncovered.
Possibly made by potters working for the Mugal conquerors, perhaps at Berke Serai
