Painted Tin-Glazed Earthenware Punch Bowl

Approximately one-third of a painted tin-glazed punch bowl consisting of thirty body and rim sherds. The exterior of the bowl is painted in varying shades of blue with clusters of dots and botanical elements. The pattern is rather unusual and similar to a modified Wan Li with infilling. The rim is slightly flared. There is no visible decoration on the interior. The vessel is mended in large sections and consists of a few sherds that mend but are not mended to the vessel. One sherd does not mend but is likely from the same vessel. This vessel is cross-mended between contexts. The bowl's height cannot be determined but is at least 3.5 inches tall.
