CATALOGUE DESCRIPTION
Bowl with flaring lip and small foot. Buff colored clay is covered with a cream-colored slip under a thin celadon glaze. Interior of bowl is decorated by mold impression to create a "rope curtain" pattern on the sloping sides, a repeated chrysanthemum pattern at the center, and sprays of grasses around the rim. The slip has been applied into the impressed areas and then polished away to create an inlaid effect in which the pattern is light against the darker clay. The exterior is unornamented except for the streaks of slip against the buff body of the bowl. Foot is neither glazed nor slip-covered.
Eight spur marks in a ring at the center of the bowl show where another bowl was stacked on it in the kiln.
Object has been TL tested to determine age: Artemis Testing Lab Thermolumiescence Report 150576 dated 1 November 2019.
