Conical bowl with fish design
Potters employed a reusable carved intaglio mould to produce this bowl which sped up the production process. Inside four fish and another sea creature possibly a squid are depicted against rippling water and the outside is incised with radiating lines. It is covered with a rich and glossy olive green glaze. It is one of a pair with PDF 297.
