Chinese Ceramic Bowl

Wide green dish with a sloping cone for a body and a faint swirl at the center.

This porcelain bowl is from China, and dates to the 20th century. Porcelain was developed in China and is made from kaolin and other minerals fired at high temperature, which makes it hard, white and slightly translucent. Appearing here is a shallow conical bowl with a flaring rim and a small foot. The glaze is an even gray green, deeper in the center, with a faint circle in the well. The edge shows a slightly paler lip. It is 2.5 inches high and 7.75 in diameter.

A calm green plate that spreads out.
