Chinese Ceramic Bowl

A deep bowl with a dark rim melting into a misty blue-green glaze.

This glazed pottery bowl is from China, and dates to the 20th century. Bowls are among the most common ceramic forms, and the profile of the foot, the wall and the rim often varies by region and period. A round, deep bowl with a black-brown lip that fades into a speckled, grey-blue glaze, streaking down the outside. The interior is a mottled green-blue. A short, dark foot supports the base. It is 4 inches high and 8.75 in diameter.

Like a small lake with a moody horizon line.
