About this piece
A plain green bowl, glazed like the inside of a pond.
Chinese potters made this calligraphy water vessel in green-glazed pottery in the 20th century. Wide, shallow vessels of this kind were used on the scholar’s desk to hold water for ink. The cylindrical sides are covered in a deep, glossy green glaze, with a slightly flared rim and two small bumps on the wall. Pale cream shows inside and along the rim, where the glaze has thinned. The base is unglazed and dark.
About 4 inches tall and 8 across. Uncomplicated, and handsome without trying.
