Lot 6013
A VERY RARE YAOZHOU TEABOWL Tang Dynasty (AD618-907)
It is well known that the Yaozhou kiln is most renowned for its celadon ware. This kiln was established during the Tang dynasty, and at first produced mainly plain or white-glazed ceramics with splashes of black. This lot is a Tang Yaozhou teabowl with a wide mouth, rounded belly, and circular foot. The body is unglazed, but the bowl's inside is decorated with a black ink floral design of six blossoms whose stems meet roughly in the floor's center. This is a lot emanating the classic elegance characteristic of Tang dynasty teaware.
