    The low rounded bowl is moulded with a pattern of raised scroll motifs on the base and three bands of florets on the sides. The inside is covered in dotted sancai (‘three colour’) glazes of amber, green and white, the outside bears an amber-brown glaze, which has run towards the rim since the piece was fired upside down, supported on three spurs which have left marks in the centre inside.
