Fiziksel açıklama
Shallow dish painted in cobalt blue under a clear glaze. The design in the shallow centre of the bowl is of a double rosette, formed by ten petals in the inner band and fifteen in the outer one, from which four pairs of leaves sprout at the cardinal points. Six pointed medallions spaced by floral sprays decorate the wide, flat rim which has an edging border of six sections of overlapping hemispheres spaced by a double leaf and bud motif.
