    The Barlow Collection

    The bowl has thinly potted conical sides, a flat centre and a tapering foot with a very thin, low footring. The rim is cut into six lobes. The inside is carved with three roundels enclosing birds in flight, quickly rendered in a stylized manner, the outside is plain. The bluish-grey glaze leaves the inside of the foot and base free, showing the near-white body which is stained a reddish-brown.
