A dark blue negative printed hollowware body sherd, likely from a bowl or a London shaped teacup. Printed "in reverse" to most vessels, negative printed wares used dark-colored backgrounds upon which design elements were rendered in white. This sherd uses interior and exterior decoration in the form of a floral pattern. This sherd's discoloration and missing over-glaze suggests fire damage.
