The object is a blue bowl 22.3 centimeters (about three quarters of a foot) in diameter. It has a broad flat-bottomed space in the center which, about an inch and a half from the edges, starts curving upward to form the nearly vertical rim. The rim itself is around a centimeter thick and shows on its edge signs of use in scuff marks, as well as dark marks which might be burns marks from firing. The scuff marks (but not the dark marks) also appear on the rest of the pot bowl, along with imperfections from the firing process in the form of small pockmarks. Reply
The physical shape aside, what is most immediately striking about the bowl is the beautiful turquoise/sky blue turquoise or sky blue color. This startlingly clear color is created in part through the grace of a glassy surface, and is further accentuated by the decorations by decorations within the bowl. The color is most clear in the an interior area that appears painted over (which will be described next ), and is slightly darker and mottled around cracks or crazing that appears faintly behind the decorated interior.

Inside the bowl are line drawings of fish swimming on their sides around a central square, holding in their mouths what appear to be plants, perhaps lotuses. The pattern as a whole is roughly symmetrical in four directions, with one fish swimming parallel to each side of the central square. The fish are located slightly closer to the rim than they are from the center than to the center, and from their mouths protrude stems leading to what appear to be sets of three to four lotus blossoms and buds. The plants extend above the heads of the fish, climbing a small distance up the side of the bowl edge. In the center of the the central square is what appears to be another square, although what once was there is now a mystery. Reply
The immediate center, parts of two of the fishes, and all of one of the
fishes but a small segment of its tail, is obscured by what appears to be
two strokes from a house painter’s brush of Turquoise/Sky Blue paint. One
extends from the edge across the center, clipping off 7/8ths of the center
square as it does so. The other was shorter, and hugs to the steep wall.
These swatches are smoother and more polished than the rest of the rest of
the bowl, and have not been drawn upon.
