Dish, irregular, round, shallow and conical, with three short legs secured onto the main body with clay rings, some cracking around joints. Conical dish is made from a flat slab circle cut along the radius with the edges folded to overlap one another making a cone. White slip under a transparent glaze provides the background colour for the entire piece which is decorated overall with a bold abstract design of vicourous sweeping strokes of colour (blue, green, terracotta, yellow and grey). Legs are decorated with vertical blue stripes.
