A DING BOWL WITH PEONY AND PHOENIX CARVINGS
Jin Dynasty |
With grooves along the edges of its mouth, this bowl resembles a flower. The body gradually curves into the round base. Inside, there are carvings of two peonies. Along the bowl’s inner wall, there is a carving of a phoenix soaring amongst clouds. The bird’s features are clearly discernable, radiating an aura of wealth and good fortune. Surrounding the phoenix are decorations of elaborate patterns, imbuing the work with a vibrant flair. Horizontal lines decorate the outer walls of the bowl. Small brown indentations are also visible on the outer wall, which might have been produced during the kilning process. |
