Description: Bowl with crane design. Stoneware, thrown, inlaid in black and white slip, and celadon-glazed. The bowl is of shallow rounded shape with slightly inturned rim, and has a small footring. The inside is inlaid with a triple chrysanthemum floret in the centre, enclosed by a youi-head border and surrounded by six cranes in flight among clouds and a classic-scroll rim border. The outside is decorated with four lotus-spray medallions within a broad scrollwork border which is inlaid in outlines only, and another classic-scroll rim border. There are no spur marks but the footring is unglazed and has fired a dark reddish brown. The potter's signature in indecipherable cursive script is impressed in the base. | Format: | text/html | License: | http://www.fitzmuseum.cam.ac.uk/terms.htm | Publisher: | The Fitzwilliam Museum, Cambridge, UK | Rights holder: | The Fitzwilliam Museum, Cambridge, UK | Subjects: | bowl Unknown stoneware | Temporal: | name=20th century; start=1940; end=1940 | Source: | Fitzwilliam Museum | Creator: | The Fitzwilliam Museum, Cambridge, UK | Identifier: | http://www.fitzmuseum.cam.ac.uk/opacdire... | Language: | en-GB | Format: | text/html | Go to resource |
