A LONGQUAN DOULI-SHAPED CELADON BOWL Song Dynasty (AD 960-1279)

D: 13.5 cm
H: 5.5 cm

This bowl is shaped like an East Asian broad-brimmed hat, or douli, with a wide, outward-curving mouth and a deep belly tapering towards the small round foot. The vessel is covered inside and out with evenly applied celadon glaze of a darkish plum green hue. The douli is the most famous and widely recognized design of Song Dynasty tea bowls. Simple yet elegant, douli bowls were very much favored by the Song literati class. This item features a classic design and attractive color, showing all the widely admired aesthetic features of Song era ceramics.
