Fritware, wheel thrown, coated in grey, painted with white slip and black pigment, covered with a colourless glaze
Shape: carinated bowl with âTâ shaped rim, sits on a narrow foot ring

On the body a frieze of flying phoenix and lobbed cartouche are surrounded by curled leaves. In the roundel, a stag is painted on a similar background, which also contains a lotus flower. Glaze pools in the base, partially obscuring the decoration in the roundel.
