Farfurie de formă tronconică, adâncită, cu buza evazată. Este smălțuită în interior și la exterior (buza). Pe fund are o marcă în formă de ”X” de culoare albă. Pe alocuri smalțul este sărit. Cromatică: cărămiziu, verzui, alb.

The vessel was formed using wheel-throwing techniques, with a thin, even wall and a broad, upturned lip. Glaze was applied both inside and out, but inconsistently, with areas of chipping revealing the underlying clay body. The coloration results from local clay and low-fire glazes, with variations caused by uneven firing conditions in a wood-burning kiln.

The form and glazing style align with regional pottery traditions from Eastern Europe, likely produced in the 18th or 19th century. Similar pieces are documented in the collection of the Museum of Ethnography, suggesting a shared craft lineage across rural communities. Its condition implies it was in domestic circulation for decades before being collected.

This dish reflects the material culture of agrarian households where ceramics were handmade, repaired, and reused until worn out. Glaze imperfections and wear patterns are typical of vessels made without industrial standardization. The presence of a stamped mark indicates some level of workshop organization, even in small-scale production.

As a representative of everyday ceramic use, this object contributes to understanding pre-industrial domestic life. Its preservation in museum collections underscores the value placed on ordinary objects that reveal labor, material constraints, and local craftsmanship rather than elite artistry.
