DescriptionOne round, porcelain slop bowl with pink luster decoration. The slop bowl is part of a larger group of teawares consisting of two teapots, a cream pitcher, a sugar bowl and slop bowl, eight teacups, eight saucers, three plates, and one coffee cup. Each piece is decorated at the rim with a line of pink luster, or gold luster, applied directly to the porcelain to give it a pink appearance, and a border. The border consists of a band of pink luster grapes, green enamel leaves, and red enamel tendrils on a black vine.
Like the rest of the set, the slop bowl has a line of pink luster at the rim, with the grape, leaf, and vine border circling the outer sides. The bowl has a crack on the bottom that has accumulated some dirt over time, and the bottom also has some additional hairline cracks.
