Description

Small bowl. Does not have bulge at waist as do other bowls, rather the maximum diameter occurs at the rim. Attempt at open lattice work along upper middle section of bowl. Linear pattern decoration along rim. Bubbled metal on bottom. Pinholes along bottom and lower half of bowl. Dark discoloration along outside rim (exposed core?). Metal flowed into and closed much of what was supposed to be openwork. Copper-colored and dark discoloration along inside.
