This bowl is outstanding for its freely painted motif of fish,
rendered in bold strokes of overglaze red and washes of
green enamel. During the Northern Song and Jin periods,
polychrome painted wares appeared at various Cizhou kilns,
particularly those in Henan province. These bowls required
two separate firings; first the vessel was covered by a layer
of transparent glaze over a layer of white slip and fired, then
the lead-based enamels were applied to the surface and the
piece was fired a second time. Such colourfully painted vessels
represent China’s first polychrome painted ceramics and are
thus of great historical importance.

A bowl with a similar fish among water plants, but lacking the
yellow dots, from the Linyushanren Collection, was sold at
Christie’s Hong Kong, 2nd December 2015, lot 2832; a slightly
coarser example is illustrated in Jingcai. Jin Yuan hong lu cai
ciqi zhong de shenqi yu shixiang/Splendid. The Deities and
Secular World in Polychrome Overglaze Decoration Ceramics of
Kin and Yuan Dynasties, Beijing, 2009, pl. 197, together with a
bowl painted with a similar design on a green ground, pl. 196;
and a third in the Sekido Museum of Art, Tokyo, is published in
Asahi Shimbun, Song Ceramics, Tokyo, 1999, pl. 108.
