This tea bowl from the Song dynasty (960–1279) is a superb example of the renowned Jizhou ware, admired for its refined black glaze and naturalistic decoration. At the heart of its appeal is the unique leaf motif, created by placing a real leaf onto the interior before firing, leaving behind a delicate silhouette beneath the glaze. The subtle texture and intricate vein pattern of the leaf remain clearly visible, highlighting the Song period’s deep reverence for the fleeting beauty of nature. The thick, glossy black glaze evenly coats the entire body, stopping short of the unglazed foot ring that reveals the buff-colored clay typical of Jizhou kilns. The form is elegant and well-balanced, with a slightly conical profile that enhances its visual harmony. This bowl is in remarkably good condition, free of chips or cracks, with a natural patina that reflects its age and historical journey. As both a practical vessel and a work of art, it exemplifies the poetic and contemplative spirit of Song ceramics and would make a fine addition to any collection of Chinese tea wares or antique ceramics.
