A YAOZHOU CELADON GLAZED AND CARVED BOWL WITH FLOWER DESIGNS
Song Dynasty or Earlier

People from the Tang Dynasty period loved peonies. And, this porcelain bowl takes the form of a blooming peony. The mouth of the bowl is not just a normal arc, but cleverly shaped like a flower petal. Its body is jade white, yet also exudes a faint green luster. The inner walls are designed with peony patterns in the form of lucky clouds, which represent blessings for wealth and good fortune. The outer wall subtly recalls sensations of natural ripples. Near the bowl’s mouth, there is a copper-colored design that reveals the elegance of nobility. This rare masterpiece is simply extraordinary.
