More Information
This piece exemplifies a type of ceramic with an interior space used for growing flowers, made at the Jun kilns located near the Song capital at Kaifeng in Henan province. Its graceful shape is simple, and its delicate blue glaze, which is matte and textured, is as pleasing to the hand as to the eye.
