The bowl is a shallow plate with horizontal feet and is connected with the pier type bowl. The belly of the bowl is hollow, and there is a round hole on the underside of the foot. The bowl is decorated with blue and white flowers. The inside of the bowl is painted with a picture of “Zhaojun going out of the frontier”. Four men with different postures are painted on the outer wall. Draw a circle pattern near the foot. The blue and white books on both sides of the round hole in the center of the outsole are auspicious
This bowl has a unique shape. The figure is slim and elegant. The blue and white are blue in color and purple in color. They are painted with domestic retro blue materials. The white glaze sets off the rich blue and white patterns, which appear luxurious and elegant. Although the outer wall of the bowl is repaired with curium, it still has unique artistic charm and is a representative work of Longqing blue and white ware collected by our hospital
The Zhuge Bowl is the donor, and its shape originates from the story of the Three Kingdoms. Zhuge Liang went out of Mount Qi six times, and Sima Yi suffered many defeats. He closed the door and did not fight. Zhuge Liang sent an envoy to send women’s clothes to Sima Yi to inspire her to fight. Sima Yi was not angry after reading the letter, but asked Zhuge Liang about his daily life in detail. When he heard that Zhuge Liang’s appetite was very small, Sima Yi said, “Eat less and eat more, Zhuge Liang will not live long?” In order to confuse the enemy, Zhuge Liang deliberately ate in a double bowl when the other side came to spy on information. On the surface, he ate a large bowl of rice, but in fact, only the upper layer had rice. Later generations called this double-layer bowl Zhuge bowl
