AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Céladon Bowl
Vietnam
Ly Dynasty to Tran (12th – 14th century)
Ceramics, fine stoneware with a light beige paste
Dimensions: 6 cm x 16.7 cm diameter
Stoneware bowl with a flared wall resting on a small straight annular foot. The interior is ornamented with an impressed and incised design of fine radiating grooves on the cavetto, surrounding a central medallion consisting of a stylized lotus rosette.
This period covers the peak of the Ly (1009–1225) and Tran (1225–1400) dynasties at Dai Viet, an era of great cultural, religious and artistic prosperity, marked by the rise of Theravada and Mahayana Buddhism, where the lotus occupies a central place in spiritual and decorative imagery.
Produced in the kilns of the Red River Delta, this piece testifies to technological and artistic exchanges with Song and Yuan China. Vietnamese artisans learned to master the celadon glaze and inlay technique to create an autonomous visual repertoire, characterized by warmer olive-green tones and specific stoneware pastes.
The glaze is yellowish celadon with greenish reflections, translucent and traversed by a dense network of fine crazing. The basin floor bears five circular annular perforations arranged in a circle, remnants of the stacking firing method characteristic of medieval Vietnamese ceramics.
Condition: A fine vertical hairline crack visible at the neck. Wear from use and crazing. Good condition for its age.
Provenance: Kanaka The Collection, Portugal
Sent with certificate of authenticity
Shipped with UPS and insurance
