Footed Bowl

Not on view

This standing cup or 'tazza' is composed of three pieces: foot, stem, and bowl. The Arabic word The Learned is repeated three times on the foot. This large vessel probably functioned as a container for fruit or sweetmeats and would originally have been surmounted by a knobbed lid.
