Fine Chinese Celadon bowl from the Song Dynasty (960–1279) with elegant, underglaze incised floral decoration. The harmonious form with a slightly lobed rim and the subtle gray-green Celadon glaze reflect the restrained aesthetics of the Song period, valued for its balanced form language and subtle glaze transitions.

Material & Technique
• High-fired stoneware (Celadon)
• Transparent-green glaze

Condition
Good, age-appropriate condition with signs of use as well as natural kiln-related features on the foot ring. These features are typical for historical ceramics and support the authenticity of the object.
