| Description | Bird Shaped, See 31021 Bowl with a squat-globular body, no neck/collar, rounded rim, no handles, and a rounded base. The bowl has a modeled bird head on the edge of the rim as well as three flaps that represent wings and a tail. There appears to be a burnished finish on the exterior and a burnished finish on the interior. The vessel was likely fired in an oxidizing atmosphere as the ceramic paste is orange in color. Fireclouding is present on the body. The catalogue number is written on the bottom of the base and black ink on the bottom of the base reads: "2400." |
