Bowl with a Lobed Rim and Rocks, Deer, and Waterfowl 染付岩鹿水禽文輪花鉢そめつけいわしかすいきんもんりんかばち
Description
This bowl's decoration, with wavy bands projecting from the center, suggests influence from porcelain produced at China’s famous Jingdezhen kilns. The surface was painted with cobalt pigment, which turns blue when fired at high temperatures. The vibrant blue of this dish attests to the high quality of the cobalt used.
