Description
The bowl has a half-round to conical shape and a standfoot. Inside and on the flattened edge outside it is glazed in turquoise color. Inside partly repaired and worn. The lower body outside and the foot are of grey clay, unglazed. Inside we discover remains of a decoration. The one is a tape around with diverse ornaments. The bottom shows the „endless knot“, a Buddhist symbol for a long life. This is often referred as a lucky ornament. (HV)
