| This flared small bowl is from the transitional early to mid Ming period and is in the style known as kitchen Ming – or country Ming for it lack of sophistication in execution and purity. It has an underglaze blue design on the outside loosely drawn geometric figure - circles, lines, etc. The inside of the bowl is not decorated and does show a two inch long stable hairline. The base glaze has a light crackle to it – whether from age or deliberately done in the kiln not known. The foot and base are not glazed with the natural tan clay showing and significant amounts of kiln grit on the rim of the foot. It measures 3” high and is 6” diameter at the top and 2 ½” diameter at the base. Excellent condition – we date it to the mid to late Ming Dynasty – 15th-16th century. | |||||||||
