The x-ray reveals a ca. 8x1cm large shallow restored area to the rim, a 1x1cm large crescent-shaped restored area to the rim and a ca. 4x0,5cm large restored area to the rim. The inventory number D.W. 1601 is inscribed in black on the unglazed base. The bowl is sturdily potted, the glaze shiny with some overall wear and the colours darker and more saturated than the catalogue illustration suggests.
