Greyish-blue glazed bowl. With three engraved rings below the upper rim and another one at mid-height. The top three are intersected in twelve places by three parallel lines. Below, seven lotus-leaf-like decorations add to the already attractive overall effect. The sole and a ring running inside are unglazed. The object was given to the Hopp Museum in 1961 as an exchange gift from the Museum of History of the Democratic Republic of Vietnam.
