A RARE AND SMALL YAOZHOU CARVED TEABOWL
Song Dynasty (AD960-1279) |
The teabowl has an outwardly curved rim and an arched belly tapering towards the round foot. The decorative designs are a combination of carvings and impressions. The interior has delicately carved veining, while the outer walls feature a curved-stalk lotus design. Of all the different types of embellishment found in Yaozhou ware, carvings are the most vivid and lifelike, and the technique reached its maturity during the Northern song. The engravings on this bowl show deft and well-practiced craftsmanship. The lines are smooth, lucid, and elegantly flowing. The curved lines in particular bring out the beauty of the glazing, making the decorative designs even more aesthetically pleasing. |
