Notes
The medium-sized bowl is glazed in turquoise blue with a darker blue border and outer surface, which has six floral motifs. The inner surface has six shapes of black swimming fish under transparent turquoise glass, where the fish are in three rows and there are four additional fish on the bottom. The glass is cracked, the frame and the outer surface at the top have a yellow iridescence, and light brown layers are visible on the bottom and on the short base, which is unglazed. There is a slight crack on the inner surface of the base frame.
