Condition

The overall condition is good. There are some minor glaze pulls. As typical of Jizhou ceramics, the surface is dry, and there are several uneven and abrasive areas to the rim. The bowl has been waxed, and there are areas with slight residue. The actual colour is slightly less reddish tone than that of the catalogue illustration.
