[Shadow green and dark flower lotus bowl]

Shadow green and dark flower lotus bowl, Ming Yongle, height 6.1 cm, caliber 15.6 cm, foot diameter 5 cm. The old collection of the Qing Palace
The bowl skims the mouth, the arc belly, and the small circle foot. The whole body is painted with blue and white glaze, also known as shadow blue glaze. The outer wall underglaze is carved with double-hook lotus pattern. This bowl has thin fetal bone, smooth lines, and is especially fresh and beautiful. No money
The glaze color of Yongle Ying celadon in the Ming Dynasty is similar to that of Ying Qing in the Song Dynasty. However, due to the high glass content in the embryo, the light transmittance is stronger than that of Ying Qing in the Song Dynasty. In addition, the glaze layer of Yongleying celadon is also fatter than that of Song Yingqing, and the bubbles accumulated in the glaze are larger and more than that of Song Yingqing
The shadow celadon of Jingdezhen in the Ming Dynasty is not the main variety, and the quantity is small, so it is precious. The shape of this bowl is light and beautiful, the embryo is as thin as paper, the enamel is as beautiful as sapphire, and the decoration is exquisite and translucent. It can be called the representative work of Ming Dynasty shadow celadon. The Tao Ya written by an old man in the late Qing Dynasty said: “There is a kind of plain bowl in Yongle Kiln, which is strictly exposed to the fetal bone. The quality of the bowl is as thin as paper, and there are shadow blue carved flowers in it.” This refers to this kind of bowl.
