4. Ju Ware Bowl in the Shape of a Lotus
Northern Sung period (907-1127)
Inspired by:
This ten-lobed lotus bowl has gently curved
sides, a subtly flaring rim, smooth transition from
one petal lobe to the next, and a relatively tall
ring foot. The blue-green glaze, from rim to the
base, is uniformly thin and opaque, with fine
crackling. During firing, this piece was supported
by five tiny points underneath the ring foot, and
these are the only parts of the body not covered
by the glaze.
