Underglaze Painted Chinese Porcelain Body Sherd

Rounded curved Chinese-export porcelain hollowware body sherd with a blue underglaze painted design on exterior and no visible decoration on interior. Design appears to a fish roe pattern on exterior. Odd for porcelain because there are noticeable turn rings on interior.
