Created in Blin's trademark misty glaze, this delightful vessel is incised with fantastical warriors presented in a linear, hieroglyphic style. The patchy blue is one of Blin's iconic colours. The ceramic is in good overall condition. Signed on the underside, 'J. Blin'. A previous owner seems to have also lightly incised '1966' on the underside. It may or may not be an accurate creation date.
