Description

The spherical white vessel sits on a foot ring whose shape is echoed by the open vertical mouth at the top. One side has a large circular opening, from which emerge clusters of white pheres in varying sizes, as well as a few small gold spheres. The white spheres are covered in small holes, and two additional spheres are adhered to either side of the vessel, like knobs. The white glaze on the lower portion is matte and crackled, and the glaze on the upper portion is glossy and dotted with flecks of color.
