Fritware with carved exterior and a white glaze; blue and lustre paint
Pinkish fritware, wheel thrown, with a lightly carved exterior and blue paint under a white glaze decorated with brown lustre.
Shape: hemispherical bowl with plain rim and small, low foot ring. Exterior has lightly carved panels emphasised by a painted petal design.
Interior: radiating pattern with alternating panels of floral designs and inter-locking ‘S’ shaped motifs against a background of spiral irregular shapes. These panels are separated by blue painted vertical lines; a similar concentric line decorates the rim.
Exterior: blue paint on the rim continues. The body is decorated with lotus petals which radiate from the base and alternately contain Arabic script (cursive) or a combination of scrolls and horizontal lines. The glaze runs onto the upper area of the foot ring where it has an uneven brownish tinge from lustre decoration.
