Bowl with Ducks among Waves and Reeds
A cream-glazed porcelain bowl with a wide, flaring rim and small foot rests on a gray ground. Incised lines on the interior suggest rippling waves and tall reed stalks, while the thin glaze shows soft tonal variation.
Look closer: A small dark speck marks the outer wall of the bowl.
