The Yue kiln celadon in the Five Dynasties period is delicate in texture, light in body, smooth in glaze, beautiful in shape and more mature in carving techniques. This Yue Kiln carved box is a fine porcelain of the Five Dynasties. The ware is covered with glaze, and the glaze is thin and uniform, which is obviously different from the Yue Kiln of the Tang Dynasty. During the Five Dynasties, more attention was paid to decorative patterns, and the techniques of carving, printing and scribing reached a highly mature stage. The theme of decoration is further broadened. People, birds and animals, flowers and plants are all available. The lotus petal pattern is the most representative pattern in the decoration of Yue kiln porcelain. The lotus petal is wide and fat, and some petals have veins in them. The petal layers overlap mostly, and the single layer is less. The lotus petal carved in this box has round lines, sharp knife work, skillful skills and a sense of reality, which shows the development and maturity of Yue kiln decoration.
