A MOLDED YAOZHOU CUP
Song Dynasty

Yaozhou ceramics reached their peak during the Song Dynasty. In the late Northern Song Dynasty, engraved flowers were a main decorative technique. Carved impressions would be printed on the surface of the object before being glazed and fired. The carvings on the inner walls of this flower cup is very distinct. Through the thin layer of glaze, we can clearly see the relief-like floral scrolls. The layout is complete and appealing with the lively ambiance of blossoming spring flowers. Green glaze is applied to the interior and exterior of this vase, except for the bottom which reveals an unglazed section. There are a couple of protruding objects on the bottom, as well as blemishes that resulted from kiln transformation.
