About this Item
A Chinese celadon bowl
height: 14,5cm; diameter: 24cm
Notes
Covered in a pale celadon glaze, the bowl features low-relief foliate decoration around the exterior, the softly carved motifs visible beneath the translucent surface. The rounded form and restrained ornament reflect the enduring appeal of celadon wares, valued for their subtle colour, texture and association with refined taste.
Provenance
Private Collection.
