About this piece
The same persimmon red, with the lid gone and the white still flying.
Porcelain workers in Jiangxi Province, China, made this rice storage bowl in the 19th century. Wide bowls like this were commonly used in the household to store grain. The rounded body is glazed in a bold persimmon red, with two small lugs at the shoulder and a pale, unglazed rim. A white reserve in a curved, swooping shape stands out on the front. The inside is white, and the glaze has a subtle speckle and a soft sheen.
About five inches tall and seven wide. Fill it with fruit or leave it empty, it works either way.
