the shallow rounded sides rising from a straight foot to a slightly flared rim, the interior carved and incised with radiating floral roundels, covered overall with an olive-green glaze

The bowl is in mostly good condition, with only expected wear from burial and subsequent cleaning (including fine scratches to the glaze, and fritting around the rim and along some areas of relief at the interior, both as illustrated), and minor typical firing imperfections (including crazing, and an approx. 0.5-cm long burst to the exterior). The color of the glaze is consistent with the illustration in the printed catalog.
