The bowl is covered with a bright, bluish, crackled transparent glaze. It has a thin, high foot that is glazed on the outside edge, but unglazed on the inside. The interior of the foot, also unglazed, shows that the bowl was glazed on a firing pad which kept the footrim from adhering to the surface on which is was fired.
