Lotus Petals Carved Green Glazed Bowl

Finely potted with deep rounded sides rising from a straight foot, carved around the exterior with three rows of overlapping petals resembling a lotus flower, the interior carved with a plain medallion in recess in the centre, applied overall with a beautiful sea-green glaze draining to white along the petal’s edges and stopping neatly around the unglazed foot, the latter applied with a transparent glaze, the neatly cut footrim left un-glazed revealing a smooth light grey body.

• A similar example is in the Ashmolean Museum Oxford, Accession no. EA1956.499.
