Underglaze Painted Pearlware Rim Sherd

One very small pearlware rim sherd with a blue and brown underglaze painted decoration on both the interior and exterior surfaces. The edge of the rim is painted blue and the interior and exterior both have brown painted lines. The body appears paneled or fluted but the sherd is too small to determine exact molded decoration. The sherd is probably from a teacup or bowl, or a similar teaware vessel.
