A great example of Italian pottery work, the top of this covered bowl is covered in yellow and red roses with small five-petaled flowers and leaves scattered in between. The colors are typical of antique Italian pottery, with some color bleeding mixed throughout, causing the small flowers to be a most interesting mix of colors!
