Bowl of pink earthenware covered with a white slip, and painted in brown-black and red slip under an ivory-tinted lead glaze. Very shallow, slightly recessed foot-ring. Straight flaring sides. In the centre, a pattern of a small square with volutes springing from the corners, painted in purple-brown. Between them, two spade-shaped motives with double stalks painted in purple-brown with reserved and incised inner details. These chief motives alternate with stylised rosette flowers with double stalks, painted in red and purple-brown with dots in white slip. Below the stalks are circular motives in purple-brown.
