Basin
A shallow, rounded basin seen from above, its pale blue-green glaze covered in a fine network of crackle lines. A dark brown rim frames the opening, and a soft highlight sits along the inner curve. The plain, restrained form is typical of Guan-type stoneware.
Look closer: A small dark speck sits in the glaze near the center of the basin.
