Bowl

 
 
Turquoise bowl displayed in the Islamic Museum, an annex of the Benaki.
 
The fine walls of the vessel show the maker's efforts to imitate Chinese ceramics, while the turquoise colour and the conical shape are characteristics of Islamic art. No date was given.
 
I like the form and the colour, but most of all its elegant simplicity.
