This is a classic bluish glaze bowl with embossed fish decoration plus two cute turtles. The tone is pale with mono fishes and turtles surround the mouth rim and inside the bowl.

Since last century when Chinese government began awarding the title of China Arts & Crafts Master (similar to the Japanese Living National Treasure) to craftsmen, 3 ceramists who specialized in Longquan celadon have been honored thus far (through July 2008). In January 2007, Mr. Mao Zheng-Cong was added to this extremely distinguished list as the second celadon ceramics artist to reach this summit.
Mao Zheng-Cong was born in 1940 at Longquan City of Zhejiang Province. He started the potter career since teenage as the worker in state-owned celadon factory. In 1996 Mao built his workshop and kiln after his retirement from the Director to Celadon Research Institution of Longquan.

Moreover Mao is the only Guan kiln 'Purple-Mouth-Iron-Foot' type apprentice that recognized by the authority in Chinese State Council and Palace Museum.
During Mao Zheng-Cong’s working tenure in state-owned factory, his artworks had being appreciated by collectors all over Asia already. A number of prestige persons such as Mr. Deng Xiao-Ping, Mrs. Margaret Thacher and Dr. Henry A. Kissinger also praised Mao's celadon as Chinese culture treasure in early 90'. Due to the recognition from international society Mao was assigned to produce the diplomatic gift for Chinese State Council since 1992. His stunning artworks also collected and exhibited by Palace Museum in Beijing, Chinese Art & Craft Museum and Celadon Museum of Longquan City. |
