Dish with floral decoration
Myanmar (Burma), peninsular region
This glazed serving dish, painted with a central motif of a spirited four-petaled flower and with a flower-and-vine meander in the cavetto, is distinguished by several technical features. Its coarse body displays a pinkish tone where exposed in firing. A white slip analyzed to be a tin-based alkaline lead glaze has been decorated with a copper-based solution that fired green. This ceramic type is typical of lower Myanmar, though the object has not been linked to a specific kiln.
