Description

This is a fairly heavy, late Qing dynasty bowl; sometimes they are referred to as a censor, sometimes as an alms bowl. I am not sure if one or either is true although the shape is reminiscent of an alms bowl, however the inside has some black staining to some of the crackles and a little brown discolouration which could be a result of it having been used as a censor. The rich red glaze is absolutely beautiful and very typical of late 19th c flambé glaze with crackles and thick pooling under the foot where excess glaze has had to be ground down to allow the bowl to sit flat. On the upper interior where the glaze has run in streaks of lavendar and on the three exterior bumps near the base, the wonderful transmutation of this glaze can be appreciated.

The small lumps on the exterior remind me of the upper rim decoration on some Junyao narcissus bowls. On some similar pieces the are lower suggesting small feet, which maybe older pieces did have, again some Junyao narcissus bowls come to mind. Given the postion of them on this piece, I suspect they are purely decorative, particularly as the glaze has created beautiful purplish tones over them.

The bowl has lovely dimensions, neither too big, nor too small. Unfortunately, it looks to have taken a knock resulting in an approximately 4 cm line that is hard to see bcause of the depth of colour. In fact it is easier to feel for it on the outside. Inside, at a glance it is even less visible, unless using uv light. However, even with that small bit of damage, it is a beautiful-looking piece, with a lustrous oxblood glaze that shines glossily without being very reflective.

The approximate dimensions are: about 17 cms wide, just over 7.5 cms high and it weighs 886 g.
