Fiziksel açıklama
Bowl, buff-coloured earthenware, assembled from several different bowl fragments of comparable age to form a single bowl with convex sides curving outwards at the lip, raised on a shallow footring. The fragments are each covered in an opaque white glaze, some are painted in silver-rich, yellowish-green lustre to form in the centre the image of a male figure in a long robe with a hat, holding a bottle in one hand and a cup in the other, executed in the "bevelled" style found in contemporary woodwork, the rim has a scalloped band. The exterior has a dot and stalk pattern in lustre.
