YAOZHOU WARE BOWL WITH IMPRINTED CHRYSANTHEMUM PATTERN Song Dynasty (AD 960-1279)
D: 10.3 cm
H: 3.3 cm
This small washbowl has a gently curved belly, a rim that is slightly arching outward, and a round foot. On its inner walls is imprinted an intertwined decorative pattern, while the bottom shows a chrysanthemum design. The entire bowl is covered in Yaozhou celadon glaze of a somewhat darkish, elegant hue. The vessel’s shape has a simple, straightforward design. Imprinted patterns were one of the most important decorative features of Yaozhou ware, including floral and animal designs, as well as human figures. This particular type of bowl is rare, making this a worthy addition to any collection.
