宋 龍泉青釉蓮瓣紋盌

the gently rounded sides supported on a tapered foot, the exterior carved with lotus petals, covered overall save for the footring in a sage-green glaze

There is some discolouration to one side of the bowl (showing on the illustration in the catalogue), possibly due ‎to misfiring or exposure to a fire. There are some crackles in the glaze on the interior, including two long thin glaze crackles issuing from the rim and onto the interior of the bowl. Otherwise the condition is good.
