This tea bowl is conical shape reminiscence of amboo hat (douli), its rim is curving slightly outwards, and it rests on a small round foot. Inner side of the bowl is glazed black, with iron-rust colored splashed irregularly as decoration. This visual effect is pleasant to the eye and invites fancy reveries. Brown iron-rust glaze extends to the foot on the outside. This kind of decorative straked black glaze is typical for Song Dynasty Cizhou ware, and during the Song/Jin period this technique had reached a high level of maturity and popularity.
