碗 labor-intensive carving technique. The designs were carved at
an angle, and as the glaze pooled in the recesses it produced an

almost dichromatic effect, giving a sense of depth to the design.

Later, impressed or molded techniques were introduced at the

Yaozhou kilns, and the molded designs, such as that on the present

bowl, achieved an effect similar to carved decoration and greatly

improved the effciency of production.

A pottery mold of this particular design is in the collection of
the Shanghai Museum, and is illustrated in Zhongguo taoci quanji
(Compendium of Chinese Ceramics), vol. 10: Yaozhou ware,
Tokyo, 1985, no. 72. A smaller Yaozhou celadon bowl with
a closely related design, in the Tokyo National Museum, is
illustrated in The Masterpieces of Yaozhou Ware, Tokyo, 1997, p.46,
no. 58.
