Description

A dark, glossy two-handled bowl with a wide flaring body, short horizontal handles curving up at the sides, and a short stem on a low oval foot. Hairline cracks and a repair line run down the body, and a faint horizontal ridge marks the upper body. The bowl is shown in profile against a plain pale backdrop, on a mounted print with a printed label at lower right.
