AN EXTREMELY RARE AND VERY LARGE YAOZHOU CELADON BOWL Song/Jin Dynasty
This bowl with a flaring rim is the biggest currently known specimen of this particular design from the Yao kiln. It is completely covered with celadon glaze of a lucid hue, and its inside is embellished with six symmetrically placed thin decorative stripes, running vertically from the lip to the circle at the center. The belly arches towards the small round foot, which is very neatly worked. Overall, the design is simple yet classically elegant, as befits a major specimen from northern China's Yao kiln.
