- Description
-
Small, shallow bowl with vertical rim; light green-blue glaze; painted in violet manganese over glaze. Schematic design with three fish inside a circle out of which four lotuses radiate; lotuses with pistils reaching out (style recalls antennas coming out of mouth of fish in bowl F1907.15). Probably by same artist as F1907.15.
The exterior decoration has leaf motif with alternating criss-crossing pattern; it is very symmetrical and has a stamp-like quality; unusual motif.
