DescriptionThe basin of the round, shallow bowl has smooth sides and rises from a flat, circular bottom. A molded band demarcates the border between the basin and the rim, which is decorated along its edge with four ribbed bands that arc inward to form four points equally spaced around the bowl. The upright handles are similarly ribbed and in the shape of quarter ovals.
