This piece features the characteristic celadon glaze of Longquan ware, evenly applied across the surface, showcasing a soft greenish-blue hue. This distinctive color arises from subtle variations in glaze thickness and firing conditions, exuding a serene and elegant atmosphere.
The exterior of the bowl is adorned with delicately carved lotus petal motifs, embodying the purity and sacredness of the lotus flower. This pattern reflects the craftsmanship of Longquan artisans, who employed their extensive experience and advanced techniques to create such intricate details, conveying an air of timeless grace.

In terms of condition, the bowl is overall well-preserved, with no notable damage or signs of repair. The glaze retains its luster, indicating its excellent state of preservation. While minor abrasions and signs of use from age are present, these only serve to narrate the history of this piece, enriching its charm.
