Fritware painted in polychrome under a colourless glaze
Fritware, mould made, painted in red slip, emerald green, blue and black under a colourless glaze
Shape: segmental bowl with an angled, flange rim, sits on a low, wide foot ring
Interior: on the rim a meandering scroll of blue and red tulips and rosettes is reserved in green. The cavetto is plain white except for a frieze of blue waves and red dots that encircle the roundel. In the roundel, a floral spray including saz leaves and pomegranate red and blue flower heads is outlined in black, all reserved in green. Impurities in the glaze on the roundel have resulted in lumps and scarring on the surface.
