Period:Ming dynasty Production date:1600-1620 (circa)
Materials:porcelain
Technique:glazed, underglazed,
Subjects:pagoda landscape
Dimensions:Diameter: 11.50 centimetres Height: 6 centimetres
Description:
Porcelain bowl with underglaze blue decoration. This bowl has rounded sides, an everted rim and a slightly flared foot. It is decorated in underglaze blue with sketchily outlined designs filled with blue wash. Inside there is a double ring medallion encircling a riverscape and outside a continuous riverscape showing a ‘sanpan’ under sail passing islands and rocky outcrops, on which tall pagodas are built. The bowl is cracked and its foot ring and mouth are chipped and fritted. The way in which the glaze has degraded suggests that it was buried at some stage.

Comments:Harrison-Hall 2001:Such designs are not uncommon in e Wanli period and appear in vessels of other shapes. Twenty covered bowls of coarser porcelain with similar decoration were recovered from the Witte Leeuw, which sank in 1613 (see BM 1921.1107.1). Other larger bowls with similar decoration are in the pre-1611 collection of the Ardebil shrine.
