A VERY RARE DINGYAO BOWL CARVED WITH FLOWERS
Northern Song Dynasty (AD960-1127) |
This bowl has an outwardly curved rim and wide rounded sides rising from a round foot. It is glazed white inside and out. The finish on the outside is smooth without any decorative design, but the inside is carved with a pattern of day lilies. The body is thin and light, and the elegant floral design consists of simple but expertly drawn expressive lines. The bottom and foot in particular bespeak superior workmanship, while the floral pattern is compactly composed to extend from the center to the rim in a naturally flowing flourish. A very good example of the classical and refined beauty that is a trademark of Ding ware. In spite of its great age, the item is in an excellent condition. |
