Polychromed bowl, probably for collective use, given its dimensions. It was made of red, turned clay, with application of glassy enamel and burned with tripods, according to the signs present inside the bowl. Inside, on the white tin-glaze background, it has written an unidentified caption in black "Prov. a de Cat. as".
A template was used to copy the design in the outer horizontal band. It is decorated with foliage motifs in black, on a central horizontal band with a yellow background. The application of such a base is unusual in talavera, thus it belongs to a period of experimentation with new colors in the base, mixed with the tin glaze.
It pairs with another piece in the Museum's collection, which shares the same decoration and inscription, but with variations in size.
