Round the inner rim a geometric pattern border. On the bottom a large flower head with leaves in a double concentric band. Marked on the base with the Chokichidani (Arita) ovens mark within a single-lined circle, underglaze blue.
Sherds of similar bowls have been found at the Nishinobori kiln (not Chokichidani).
