A YAOZHOU LOTUS PETAL BOWL
Song Dynasty |
The bowl features a round and circular mount, and a body that gradually slims downwards. There are no decorations on the inner walls of the bowl, and the interior exudes a smooth yellow-green. There is a slight circular concave in the middle of the bowl. The circular stool on the bottom and the rim of the bowl are yellowishbrown, forming a harmonious and gentle visual effect with the yellow-green colors. The abdominal walls faintly reveal lotus petals. Not only do they beautify the exterior of the bowl, but they also strengthen its overall artistic quality. The lotus remains untainted even when growing in mud, which represents a noble character deeply loved by literati. |
