Comments
The scallop-rim bowl has fluted sides that curve down to a foot ring. The bowl is painted inside and out in two tones of blue. A wide pale blue band is painted inside and outside. It has dark blue floral decoration over the pale blue. Below it are two-tone Asian figures with stylized floral motifs between them. The inside center bottom has a stylized floral composition with what looks like a bird with out-swept wings.
