This bowl is a representative piece of Cizhou ware from the Jin dynasty (1115–1234), known for its robust structure and expressive decoration. The body is coated in a creamy white slip with faint brush-painted floral and calligraphic motifs that show through the translucent glaze, exuding a subtle elegance. The interior center bears a bold character painted in iron brown, likely a mark of auspicious meaning or potter’s signature, adding both aesthetic and historical value. The thick foot ring remains unglazed, revealing a coarse buff-colored clay typical of northern Chinese wares. Despite signs of aging such as minor wear and kiln imperfections, the piece retains a strong presence and functionality, embodying the dynamic spirit and craftsmanship of the Cizhou kilns. Its rustic charm and lively brushwork speak to the daily life and folk artistry of the Jin period, making it a desirable item for collectors and connoisseurs of Chinese ceramics.
