Bacher, the rare mottled redware covered serving bowl with green veining on the lid interior and underside, the exterior and body interior with a dark brown glaze, the entire piece richly decorated with applied leaves, flowers, and crimped edges, the body further with three openwork flower-decorated handles, the lid with three human half-figures and a pyramidal knop. 10.5" H X 10.5" diameter over handles. Some chips, a crack and repaired breaks to rims and foot, minor losses to some applied elements.
