A JINGDEZHEN GREENISH-WHITE GLAZED FLOWER BOWL
Song Dynasty |
This bowl faintly emits a greenish tinge amongst a pure white, leaving people with the impression of a silent comfort. The open mouth is carved like a flower, and gradually slims downwards. The interior of the bowl is engraved with an interesting pattern. At first glance, it looks like a peony in full bloom that surrounds a circle. At another glance, it looks like a moon that shines from within the clouds. Is it a flower in a mirror or a moon in a lake? Perhaps only the craftsman knows! There is a small pattern that surrounds the main decoration, and the space near the rim is left blank. There are no decorations on the exterior of the bowl. The original, unglazed appearance is shown on the bottom, and there are traces of erosion. |
