Blue-and-white ceramic shard or small pottery fragment
Estimated Value
$5-$50
The image shows a small triangular fragment of blue-and-white decorated ceramic, likely a shard from a plate, bowl, tile, or similar vessel. The piece features a cobalt-blue painted or transfer-printed design with scrolling floral or foliate motifs over a white ground. The glaze appears glossy, and the decoration suggests a traditional blue-and-white ceramic style. Because only a fragment is visible, the original object type, maker, and exact period cannot be determined with confidence.
