    The Barlow Collection

    A related bowl excavated in Wuyuan county, Jiangxi province, can be dated to 1211.

    The deeply rounded bowl stands on a thin, nearly straight foot. It is undecorated and glazed in a blue-tinged transparent glaze. The glaze leaves the rim free, but covers the foot, as the piece was fired upside down. It may once have had a cover.
