Not on viewThe conception for this piece (comparable to that for cat. no. 378) was to simplify one of the most common elements on ceramics, floral panels, into streaks in rows around the inner sides of a bowl. The design could be applied on the outer sides of a bowl such as the cizhou-type during the Yuan (WW 1990.4: 16). The background and foreground contrast with streaks of brown and black. The thick glaze, fluid in drops around the lower portion of the bowls, and the unglazed footring were common on Jin-Yuan wares.
