The form of the present bowl is particularly auspicious. Symbolic
of autumn, designating the time for good harvest and joviality,
the chrysanthemum was also highly regarded for its health-giving
properties and auspicious references to Immortality. Compare with

illustrated by J.Ayers and R.Krahl, Chinese Ceramics in the Topkapi
