This bowl-shaped body, which has lost its waist tension and has a low pedestal, was made near the middle of the 7th century. The base is in a degenerate form with rectangular watermarks on three sides. The black surface of the bowl is covered with a dark green natural glaze, which is a magnificent finish.
