Description: A Cizhou bowl was slipped with white glaze and decorated with a Chinese character “ For”-Buddha . In a good calligraphic writing of the meaningful word , this bowl was most likely produced for religious use, or for scholars who were spiritually Buddhism oriented. In hues of aged ivory white contrasting with dark brownish decorating lines, the bowl was preserved with earth from burial. The incursions were obvious on the mouth rim when the condition of the bowl is very good. One old chip was on the inner side of the foot ring and one finger print was left by the potter on the outer surface near foot ring. A similar piece was in plate 66, page 93 of a publication from Osaka Municipal Museum Of Art, Japan. Date: Jin or Yuan period(AD1115-1368) Width: 16.2cm
