12th century
This very finely potted bowl stands on a slightly flared, medium high foot ring. The body rises in a gentle curve to a point where it reverses direction, and then tapers inward to a very slightly everted rim. Except for small dashes of black on the interior of the rim, it is pure white. The glazed surface is largely covered with iridescence.
H. 9.7 x Diam. 16.8 cm (3 13/16 x 6 5/8 in.) foot ring: Diam. 6.5 cm (2 9/16 in.)
