Notes
A specter with an outward-turned, rounded edge, a circular mouth, a semi-oval body, and a flat base. The piece was covered on the outside with a well-executed monochrome honey glaze, and on the inside with a multicolored glaze, containing white, green, and violet, with drawings of floral motifs consisting of a radial composition of eight triangular lotus flowers, surmounted by three oval lotus flowers. On the edges of the plate there is a quadrilateral formation in which semicircles alternate with floral shapes. The bottom of the piece contains a defect due to the fact that this vessel remained attached to another piece inside the kiln during the glazing process. Restored piece.
