PLATE LX
Deep bowl of buff-white stoneware with a wash of white
slip and an almost colourless glaze which forms with the slip
a creamy white surface. The glaze, which stops short of the
base, is minutely crazed. The bowl has evidently been buried,
for through the crazing a reddish discoloration has penetrated.
On the sides is a belt of incised palm scroll bordered by two
plain rings above and below. The incised design is etched
through the slip to the body, but is covered with the almost
colourless glaze.
Kuliihsien or Kichownan ware. Sung dynasty. D. 55".
In the possession of Mr. J. Baird.
