Description
Chinese Jizhou Song dynasty style 'leaf' bowl. Glazed stoneware with the interior decorated with the pattern of a leaf.
Bowls such as this one were amongst the most celebrated stoneware coming from the Jizhou kilns in Hubei province. The naturalistic rendering of the leaf was achieved by affixing a leaf to the interior of the bowl prior to its immersion in the iron-rich slurry used for the dark-brown glaze. The natural chemics in the leaf reacted the the glaze in the high heat of the kiln, rendering it nearly transparent. It is assumed that the Chan (Zen) monks found the naturalism to their liking.
Height: 2 in x diameter: 4 3/4 in.
