Porcelain bowl with monochrome turquoise overglaze. This finely potted bowl has rounded sides and an everted rim and stands on a tapering foot ring. Its base is slightly convex and, although unmarked, is covered with a blue-white glaze with a yellowish cast. Inside and out it is covered with a mottled turquoise glaze with a fine crackle. The glaze has crept away from the rim, exposing a pure white porcelain clay body.

Comments:Harrison-Hall 2001:All of the Xuande period monochrome turquoise vessels excavated to date from the Xuande stratum are left plain inside and have a proportionately higher foot. Yet the glaze on this bowl is quite similar to that of the Xuande mark and period dish with turquoise glaze in the British Museum (BM 1947.0712.251). The profile of the bowl, the yellowish cast to the glaze on the base, exceptionally pure body and glaze which creeps away from the foot and the mouth all suggest a Chenghua rather than a Xuande date. However, none of the known Chenghua or Xuande period bowls is glazed turquoise inside as well as outside; and the glaze of this bowl is not at all similar to that of the turquoise wares of the Qing period.
