Fiziksel açıklama
The flange band of this dish is reserve-painted with S-scrolls and lappets. A loose scroll of eight reciprocal flowers and leaves and lappets fills the well. Typical Kraak leafy flowers and a decorated tube emerge from an ornate neck. Borders of a terrace with tufts of grass, an insect in flight and two pseudo-trigrams fill empty spaces. Sprays of dots are scattered around. A more inspired pair of dragons painted inside the base ring.
