-
Drinking bowl
Clay: hard, musical.
Glaze: celadon with a soft waxy lustre. Edge of foot unglazed.
- Label
-
The strikingly simple shape of this unadorned bowl highlights the characteristic blue-green color and satiny, jadelike surface of the mature Longquan glaze. A thick welt of glaze below the rim on the outside of the bowl shows that care was taken to apply the glaze as thickly as possible.
