About this object
A looped turquoise-blue ribbon frames a panel containing a landscape with three exotic birds on a white ground, and other areas that have floral vines in natural color on a white ground covered with gold dots. The basin has the same decorative scheme, but the central panel inside has only two birds. The outside of the bowl has the same ribbon, but here framed white panels with clusters of flowers and fruit.
