A CARVED CIZHOU BOWL
JIN DYNASTY (1115-1234) |
This bowl is wide-mouthed, with a rounded belly that tapers off gently, and a ring foot. In the center of the bowl is a roundel formed from two rings. The inside of the roundel is decorated with a chrysanthemum medallion against a background of comb-painted horizontal bands, and approximately two-thirds of the roundel sides are covered with intertwined flowers against a background of horizontal bands. The bowl is covered with white slip, which in turn is covered with a translucent ivory-yellow glaze; the base is unglazed. With its fresh colors and well-balanced decorative motifs, this large bowl has a bold, distinctive aesthetic appeal. |
