It is very unusual to find a black-glazed bowl with a foliate rim with such dramatically pointed divisions, and no other comparable example appears to have been published. Foliate rims of this more exaggerated type are more commonly seen on taller vases, such as the rare gilt-copper example in this sale, lot 191.
