Description: | Pair of cone shaped bowls, standing on a very small foot, made of Sung dynasty porcelain from the Southern Sung period. Incised floral pattern inside. the whole covered with a delicately tinted blue-green glaze.
The porcelain body of these bowls is very fine. Even though coated with glaze on both the interior and exterior surfaces, the walls are very thin. A pattern has been lightly carved into the surface of the clay using a bamboo tool held at an angle and the background has then been marked with a comb. The clear blue-tinged glaze pools in the shallow incisions, highlighting the details of the flower head design.
Technique: incising
Material: porcelain
Material: blanc de chine
