Bowl with lotus petals
This bowl is decorated outside with a stylised overlapping lotus petal pattern and is a typical product of the southern Longquan kilns. Lotuses are a symbol of purity. Similar bowls were made for a long period in China and many were exported. Although in a style familiar through Longquan area celadons, this bowl may be from another kiln complex within Zhejiang province

此碗外壁刻格式化重疊蓮瓣紋,是南方龍泉窯的典型裝飾。蓮花象徵純潔。在中國,類似的碗很長一段時間內皆有燒造,並大量外銷。儘管其風格與龍泉青釉器物相似,此碗可能出自浙江省其他窯口。
