This unusual fragment of Chinese blue ware pottery has patterning both on the outside, and around the rim on the inside. The design is blurred but two figures on a bridge can be made out and also something that resembles a gate. The crackle glazing and poor quality design would suggest that this piece was more likely to be used on board ship, rather than for trade.
