Guest Book

The rare shape of this bowl is so to say a forerunner of a shape which was common during the Yuan Dynasty. In his book "Chinese blue and white Porcelain" Duncan Macintosh calls the shape of such a bowl: a "bowl in traditional "shufu" shape."( page 18 ). White stoneware body, glazed with an pale ivory white, fine crackled glaze. The unglazed foot with an old owners-mark ( which was common during the Song Dynasty ). Song - Yuan Dynasty ( 12th to 13th centuries ) Diameter : 12 cm. H.: 4,1 cm. Condition : Perfect.
