Bowl
(China )
This deep bowl with rounded sides is decorated around its wide inverted mouth with a wavy collar. The white porcelain of the body is covered in a thick coating of ivory-white which has dripped and formed tear drops on the exterior. Thicker areas of glaze, including the drips, are slightly green tinged. Bowls of this style possibly contained tea.
