A WHITE DING SHALLOW BOWL WITH PEONY PATTERN LID
Northern Song Dynasty |
This flower decorated shallow bowl and lid are glazed in pristine white. The squat bowl and rounded lid fit together perfectly. At the center of the lid, patterns of two lush peony flowers are surrounded by foliage. The peony decorations are a symbol of vitality and longevity. Both the bowl and lid are coated in white glaze. Twelve flower petals are carved around the base of the bowl to form the luxurious pattern of a peony that appears to blossom from the base, striking a gorgeous contrast between the bowl and lid. Along the seams where the lid and bowl meet, there are a few grooves that make opening the lid more convenient. |
