Lot Essay

The bowl is well potted with rounded sides resting on a short foot, covered overall with a clear, soft moon-white glaze. Compare to a Yaozhou moon-white glazed yuhuchun vase sold at Christie's Hong Kong, 2 May 2025, lot 953, with a lustrous glaze very similar to that of the current bowl. Compare also a Jin dynasty Yaozhou moon-white glazed washer excavated from Shaanxi province, preserved in the Yaozhou Kiln Museum and illustrated in Yaozhou Kiln of China, Beijing, 2014, no. 179; and a Song dynasty example of comparable form preserved in the same museum, illustrated in Zhongguo Taoci Quanji, Vol.10, Yaozhouyao, Kyoto, 1985, no.39.
