Bowl

CHINA; Ming dynasty

This porcelain bowl has a high, narrow base and a body which curves gently outwards to form a wide mouth. It is 11.5 cm high with a diameter of 17 cm at the mouth. The base is in the form of a narrow truncated cone with a blue floral pattern at the bottom. The underside of the bowl is decorated in deep blue with two rings of lotus petals. Inside the bowl, a Sanskrit seed syllable is at the bottom, with a Tibetan inscription partway up the side.
