Featuring a flared mouth, curved wall, deep belly, and a round base, this bowl is decorated with a floral pattern in addition to two cranes on its interior wall and the characters “Shu” “Fu” carved on each side. The whole body is glazed in egg-white. The bottom is unglazed, revealing warm brown-red spots due to a rich iron content. This piece typifies Jingdezhen porcelain fired especially for the Shu Fu Council (Privy Council) of the Yuan Dynasty.
