Period:Ming dynasty Production date:1506-1521 (circa)
Materials:porcelain, gold,
Technique:gilded, glazed,
Dimensions:Diameter: 15 centimetres Height: 6.70 centimetres
Description:
Porcelain bowl with monochrome white glaze and with lacquered gold repair. This heavily potted bowl has rounded sides, an everted rim and a tapering foot ring, which is recessed into the body. It is covered with an uneven cloudy white glaze with a partial broad brown crackle. The clay body is revealed in patches around the foot ring where the glaze has shrunk. Gold, covered with a protective layer of lacquer, has been used to fill in two large chips at the rim and cracks inside the bowl in the centre and inside the foot ring on the base.

Comments:Harrison-Hall 2001:The cloudy white glaze and rough foot are typical of early sixteenth-century monochrome white wares produced for the civilian market at Jingdezhen. The form is less elegant than that which prevails in fifteenth-century white wares. Japanese collectors favoured the lacquered gold method of restoration, making a virtue of the bowl’s defects.
