Introduction
Potted with a round opening and a plump rim, a straight slightly tightened neck, a bulging shoulder, a sloping belly and a round bottom, the alms bowl is supported on a foot ring and covered in sky blue glaze, as well as purple splashes; the two colours blend in with each other to maintain an elegant balance. The foot ring present a light brown colour, with its grey biscuit exposed at the bottom, yet the inner bottom is also applied with glaze in a natural manner.
