When taking tea, frequently different types of tea were tasted. To do so, the teacups were rinsed out in slop bowls. This one is an example of the finest blue-and-white porcelain for sale in the northern Netherlands around 1700. Such a bowl could also be part of a group of decorative porcelain objects displayed on a cabinet.
