The flaring rounded sides subtly divided into ten fluted lobes and rising to a foliate rim, all supported on a flat base of corresponding form, covered to the interior and exterior with deep copper-red enamel with a sacrificial-red glaze of crushed strawberry tone suffused with subtle darker mottling, the glaze thinning to a translucent tone at the rim and raised flutes, the base inscribed with a calligraphy written in under-glazed blue enamel, 7.7 inch wide. Provenance: Estate of Mrs. Margaret Goldney, Woodbury, Connecticut, collection of Professor Peter Plesch, UK.
