Here's a pretty little 6" red clay bowl I bought a few weeks ago. I looked online but haven't been able to find anything like it. It has a very Asian feel to it and it could be a tea or rice bowl. I love the chrysanthemums and the way they are painted. They sure do have a Chinese look to them. The design also feels slightly raised. It's made of a thin but quite resonant red clay. Has a bit of a ring when you tap it. There are no marks anywhere. There's a small chip and a nick to the underside of the rim, but no cracks. Frankly it looks old to me. It has a light glaze over the whole piece to seal it from moisture during use. -Mike-
The pattern is found on Mexican pieces i've seen.
