About this piece
A lotus in stone, ruffled at the rim and sitting on its own feet.
Chinese stoneworkers carved this lotus-form bowl in marble in China in the 19th century or earlier. Lotus shapes are commonly associated with purity in Chinese art, and bowls like this are often used as brush washers or for display. The rim opens in scalloped petal lobes with a thick, softly rounded wall. It rests on a stepped base with four curled feet. The marble is cream and honey colored, with slight pinkish veining and a pitted, weathered surface.
About twelve inches wide. Put a few floating blooms in it, or nothing at all.
