the deep rounded sides fluted to the exterior, rising to a slightly waisted neck encircled with a narrow ridged band to a delicately lobed everted rim, raised on an elaborate stepped pedestal arranged in three tiers of petal-fluted collars, covered overall with a translucent pale blue glaze pooling to darker tones in the recesses

Ralph M. Chait Galleries, New York, 1990s.

There are small restored nicks at the crevices of the notched corners along the rim, one corner with a restored hairline crack.
