Bowl with Stylized Leaves
Made for export, bowls with this type of decoration are often catalogued as kinrande ware after a Japanese term for fabric with gold thread. Although, as the term implies, such wares are thought to have been made primarily for Japan, examples also reached the Middle East and Europe.
