Bowl
960–1279
Linru ware Porcelaneous stoneware with carved lotus pattern under celadon glaze
A celadon glazed porcelain bowl with carved lotus and scroll patterns is displayed against a plain wall. The bowl has a light green hue and a glossy finish. A large group of bowls and dishes of this type are known, most decorated with a single large lotus flower and leaf of similar design. Besides the northern celadon kiln complex at Yaozhou in Shanxi province, a number of other northern Song kiln sites have been discovered including Linru in Henan province. The type of clay body and blue-green glaze seen here suggest Linru as the likely source for this bowl. Gallery G204 The Ethel Morrison Van Derlip Fund and Gift of funds from Louis W. Hill, Jr.
