Bowl with Incised Parrot Design

Cleveland Museum of Art

The bowl is ceramic and has a wide mouth with a rounded body that tapers down to a small foot. The bowl's exterior and interior are glazed with a light blue-green color that fades to a cream towards the bottom. The glaze has small brown speckles and cracks. A design of an incised parrot is on the exterior. The background is dark gray, with a lighter gray surface that the bowl is sitting on. The overall appearance suggests an old, possibly antique piece. The artist of this bowl is unknown. The title of this piece is "Bowl with Incised Parrot Design".
