Description

With decorative painting but no handles. Similar to 31087

Plate with a flaring body, no neck/collar, flattened rim, no handles, and a flat base. The plate is painted orange on the top surface with a band of geometric design down the center in black, red, and white. The rim is painted brown/black and there are two protrusions on either side of the rim. 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 base. The catalogue number is written on the bottom of the base and black ink on the bottom of the base reads: "2385."
