Descriptions

Description
This very finely potted bowl stands on a slightly flared, medium high foot ring. The body rises in a gentle curve to a point where it reverses direction, and then tapers inward to a very slightly everted rim. Except for small dashes of black on the interior of the rim, it is pure white. The glazed surface is largely covered with iridescence.
