Period:Ming dynasty Production date:1600-1644 (circa)
Materials:porcelain
Technique:glazed
Dimensions:Diameter: 12.80 centimetres Height: 5 centimetres
Description:
Porcelain ‘min yao’ bowl with grey/white glaze. The shallow form of this ‘min yao’ bowl, with its neatly rounded sides, wide open mouth and straight gritty foot suggest a late Ming date. The bowl is covered with a coarse matte dove-grey glaze which contains many impurities.

Comments:Harrison-Hall 2001:The lack of underglaze blue decoration makes this bowl particularly awkward to date. Few bowls of this quality are published. In the past this may have been due to a lack of interest in the non-imperial wares, but today it is partly because of the constraints of publishing costs for colour images.The foot is similar to that of a bowl in the Topkapi Saray Museum, drilled with an owner’s mark and dating to the early seventeenth century.
