the deep rounded sides supported on a low spreading foot, covered overall in an unctuous sky-blue glaze thinning at the rim to a mushroom tone, the foot burnt to russet brown during firing

A section of the rim has been sprayed (length approx. 10.5 cm), particularly to the interior of the bowl. The surface has minor expected wear throughout, and there are minor firing imperfections including small iron spots and a glaze gap at the exterior of the rim (diameter approx. 1.2 cm). The color of the glaze is a much brighter lavender-blue than in the illustration in the printed catalog.
