A celadon, crackle glaze inverted rim bowl. The unglazed rim suggesting this had a cover as some examples of this form (sometimes referred to as an alms bowl) did. The shoulder, below the inverted rim, with two double fine line bands flanking relief flower head bosses. Strait lotus leaf motif adorning the side tapering to the foot. The foot unglazed (both the foot rim and inside the foot rim.) Though an earlier form, the weathered pretty green glaze appears to be Qing dynasty. Good, decorative condition. The unglazed body - particularly the foot surface except for a few rough spots - unusually smooth. Acquired in trade in the mid 1990's. Diameter, 6 1/4 inches (15.86cm). Height, 3 5/8 inches (9.21cm)
