A YAOZHOU CELADON CONICAL BOWL <br/>NORTHERN SONG DYNASTY (960-1127)
This bowl has a wide mouth, a rounded belly that tapers off towards the bottom, a thin base, and a ring foot. There is a raised band on the inner wall of the bowl near the belly, surrounding a roundel. The inside of the roundel is decorated with a flowing water pattern made using a comb-like instrument; this in turn is inlaid with a branch and flower motif, creating a poetic image of blossoms falling into flowing water. The bowl is covered with lustrous celadon glaze, with brownish-yellow glaze at the base. With its combination of stillness and dynamism, this celadon bowl has a naturalistic appeal full of life and sparkle; its lively, invigorating form inspires a strong sense of aesthetic pleasure.
