Tea bowl
The tea bowl is complete; it has two small cracks. It is circular in shape. In profile, the bowl has a wall that flares slightly at the top, topped by a flared rim with a slightly undulating top. The lower part of the wall curves towards the flat bottom. The bowl rests on a ring-shaped foot. The outer rim of the foot is beveled and free of glaze; the decoration is molded and hand-painted in iron red over glaze. The molded decoration is visible on the top of the rim and on the wall: the top is corrugated with spikes, and the wall is decorated with small vertical convex ribs. The painted decoration is floral. The decoration is painted on the inner rim and base, as well as on the outer wall. Under the inner rim, it consists of two wavy fillets, the lower one supporting a garland of trifoliate motifs, trimmed with four pairs of identical dangling cords. The decoration on the inner base is a small leafy stem. The main decoration on the wall is a leafy, flowering stem. The rest of the wall is taken up by five different small leafy and flowering stems.
