Notes
An open vessel, its body is hemispherical in shape. The edge is semicircular, slightly angled outward. The leg is ringed and the pulp is light coloured. The surfaces are enamelled with multi-colored decorations. In the center, an amateur depicted a simple lotus flower, a symbol of eternal life. In its shape, and especially with its looped shank, this pattern bears characteristics of Iberian products that imitate oriental styling. In addition to the floral background, the edge of the piece also represents a wavy decorative motif interrupted three times.
