Bowls of this type were made during the Song and yuan dynasties, and
six are illustrated by r. Krahl, Chinese Ceramics from the Meiyingtang
Collection vol. 1, London, 1994, pp. 290-1, nos. 539-44. The present bowl
appears to be most similar to nos. 539 and 540, which the author dates
Southern Song dynasty, in its rounded shape and the broad, rather than
narrow carved lotus petals. No. 539 is larger (20.8 cm. diam.) and no. 540 is
smaller (13 cm. diam.) than the present bowl. The author describes these
two bowls and others of Southern Song date as being more “carefully
potted, carved, glazed and fired”, than bowls of this type of later, yuan date,
such as nos. 543 and 544.
