Exhibition Note
Lotus-petal decoration gives rhythm to the body of this bowl, while a straw-yellow glaze unifies motif and form. Looking downward from the rim reveals how the pattern follows the curved surface. The piece illustrates a restrained approach to decoration, enriching a practical receptacle with floral imagery while preserving the clarity of its overall shape.
