This bowl has a lipped rim and round foot. Faint casting marks are visible on the outer walls. The entire bowl is glazed except for the foot, where the ceramic body is visible, which is slightly on the thick side, white and smooth. The finish is clean and glossy with a faint tint of celadon. A spiral pattern running along the item’s lower part gives an aesthetically pleasing effect. This kind of pattern is based on decorative elements often found in Tang Dynasty gold and silver utensils; in terms of design and glazing this bowl displays all the typical features generally found in late Tang and early Five Dynasties Xing ware. Although well over a thousand years old, the item is in excellent condition.
