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.
