✓ Authenticity guarantee · ✓ Specialist condition report · ✓ Insured worldwide shipping · ✓ Private-room viewing
This deep bowl with a wide flat rim is coated with a pale sea-green glaze. The interior is divided into three triangular sections by a simple foliate pattern. Within each triangle, a seated figure holding a cup is reserved in splashes of chocolate-colored luster. The rim is decorated with 15 panels containing freely painted dots and strokes, which suggest highly abstracted script.
