Song-Style Lotus Seedpod Bowl

Hutian Kiln Shadowy Blue Glaze Lotus Seedpod Bowl, a Three-Piece Set Including Bowl, Stand, and Lid. The lotus seedpod carving features crisp, fluid lines, embodying a simple and elegant aesthetic that evokes the verse, "A lotus flower emerges clear from water, naturally unadorned." It feels smooth and sturdy to the touch, and emits a clear, melodic ring when tapped. The lid is adorned with raised lotus seeds, depicting a lotus seedpod in its immature, growing state.

The bowl's body is carved with lotus petal patterns, resembling a blooming lotus flower enfolding the seedpod. The stand is intricately carved with the veins of a lotus leaf, gently cradling the bowl.

The celadon porcelain is crystal-clear and warm, with a distinct blue hue in the areas of accumulated glaze, pure and translucent with rich tonal variations. The glaze color transitions subtly from pale blue-white to sky blue and lake green, greatly enhancing the artistic effect of the patterns.
