Chinese Ceramic Bowl

A deep blue bowl with a pale lip and a mottled foot.

This glazed pottery bowl from China is from China. Glazed pottery bowls were produced in kilns across China for household use, with glazes in browns, greens and blues applied over a fired clay body. A flared bowl with a smooth, saturated blue glaze outside and a lighter blue within. A thin white rim edges the mouth, and the small foot ring shows mottled streaks where the glaze thins. It is 3.75 inches high and 8.25 in diameter.

Deep color, clean lines, and a pale edge for good measure.
