• Description:
  This bowl has a long mouth, a deep arc wall and a short circle. The inside of the utensil is plain without lines. The outside wall is painted with a blue stone, which contains bamboo, ganoderma lucidum and camellia. The red crowned crane lowers its head and raises its head, and the ribbon bird stops in the bamboo room and flies in the air. This piece is almost symmetrical with the pattern of ancient porcelain 17543. On the other side of the outer wall, there are two lines written in ink: “Sleep quietly, spin and feel the pine trees and flowers fall, and dance and listen to the stream water”. The lines are from the couplet of Zheng Gu’s seven character poem “Crane” in the Tang Dynasty. There are three red seals in front of the poem, “Phoenix Picking”, and behind it, “Binran” (in white) and “Gentleman”. The bottom of the utensil is provided with two lines of blue Song typeface made in Yongzheng year.
