Ju Ware Bowl in the Shape of a LotusNorthern Sung period (907-1127)

This ten-lobed lotus bowl has gently curved sides, a subtly flaring rim, smooth transition from one petal lobe to the next, and a relatively tall ring foot. The blue-green glaze, from rim to the base, is uniformly thin and opaque, with fine crackling. During firing, this piece was supported by five tiny points underneath the ring foot, and these are the only parts of the body not covered by the glaze.

Made from two overlapping rhombuses, the box set is composed of base, inner box and lid. The inner box has two layers and is made of black lacquer and black lacquer-based lotus-spray decoration, while the sides and surface of the box set are decorated by hexagonal geometric patterns. The overall design is classically elegant and the handwork is delicate.
