This is a bowl with a rustic orange finish and a crackled glaze that gives it a textured pattern. The bowl is decorated with painted white designs, including a large floral motif in the center surrounded by curving lines and the outlines of birds. The rim of the bowl is undulating rather than flat, and it has some areas of black pigment. The wide bowl has a narrow, round base at the bottom.
