DescriptionA red earthenware vase, coarsely painted in black and with a transparent turquoise glaze which flows down over much of the bare footring. The decoration is divided, by single and double lines, into three registers. Each of these contains, at different scales, a version of the same design: where the field is divided into interlocking diamonds, each of which contains either a plant or a medallion.
