DescriptionBroad, shallow bowl. Vertical rim with rounded edge; convex curving side; slightly convex bottom. Composite mosaic pattern formed from large polygonal sections of three canes: the first in a gold-yellow ground with opaque white spirals; the second in a light blue ground with opaque white spirals; and the third, all small sections, in a green ground with opaque white rods outlined in golden-yellow, surrounding an opaque white circle around a central opaque red rod. A golden-yellow network cane wound spirally with an opaque white thread is attached as a rim.
