Bowl with floral motif 918 - 1392

This celadon bowl, dating back to the Song dynasty (918-1392) in China, features a delicate floral motif carved into its surface. The intricate design, created using the incising technique, is accentuated by the soft, green glaze. This piece, showcasing the characteristic beauty of celadon ware, is a testament to the artistic skill and technical mastery of anonymous Song dynasty artisans. The piece, now housed in the Minneapolis Institute of Art, is an example of the high quality and sophistication of Chinese ceramic art during this period.
