DescriptionMulti-sided porcelain slop bowl with gilded decoration. Part of a large group of white and gold teawares made of a white ceramic, porcelain in most cases, with gilding as the only decoration. The group consists of one large teapot (.1a,b), one smaller teapot (.2a,b), two cream pitchers (.3 and .4), one slop bowl (.5), two teacups (.6 and .7), five teacup saucers (.8,-.12), four coffee cups (.13-.16), and four coffee cup saucers (.17-.20). The group continues with ten plates in three different sizes (.21-.30), five small plates (.31-.35), one saucer (.36), two compotes (.37-.38), three lidded dishes (.39a-c-.41a-c), one pitcher (.42), one dish (.43), and a lid (.44).
The slop bowl has ribbed sides and a flared foot. There are thin bands of gilding at the bottom and top of the foot, and a thicker band at the rim. A hairline crack, in the shape of a "Y", is located on the bottom of the slop bowl, beneath the foot.
