Description:
Porcelain Lianzi [lotus-seed] bowl with underglaze blue decoration. This lianzi [lotus-seed] bowl has deep conical sides which emerge from a very narrow foot ring and curve slightly inwards at the rim. The glazed base rises to a central nipple. Beneath a pure blue-white glaze it is painted in dark cobalt blue. Inside in the centre is a stylized four-petalled flower, surrounded by a band of flowers formed of dots. Encircling this is a ringlet of overlapping looped trefoils woven together. Around the rim is a diaper border on the inside and a band of simple key-fret outside. Sixteen individual lappets radiate from the foot ring, which is decorated with a band of undulating lines like contours on a map. The base is glazed.
