Dia. 18.5 x H8 cm
stoneware
A quietly distinguished 12th-century Song dynasty Fujian celadon bowl, valued for the understated beauty of its form, glaze, and lightly carved interior.
The most appealing Song wares achieve their effect not through display, but through proportion, surface, and nuance, and this bowl speaks eloquently to that tradition.
The softly modulated celadon tone and restrained decoration give the present lot a serene, scholarly presence, making it an especially rewarding example for collectors of early Chinese ceramics.
