Did You Know?

Four incised lines on the outside with indentations in the rim above suggest a petal form.
A shallow stoneware vessel flares from a narrow base into a wide, oval opening. Diagonal indentations score the exterior, lending a lobed, petal-like appearance. A pale olive-green glaze, peppered with fine dark speckles, coats the surface. Subtle notches punctuate the rim, while the flared walls capture shadows within the creases. Its profile sweeps upward, transitioning from a compact circular foot to an expansive, delicately notched edge.
