Celadon Bowl with Disk-shaped Bottom, Yue Ware

A new type of eating vessel, this kind of bowl was invented in the Tang dynasty, and was named after the bottom that imitates the jade disk. The bowl was widely produced in both the northern and the southern kilns, generally in celadon or white glaze. The disk-shaped bottom is shallow and wide, sometimes without glaze in the concave part in the middle. This bowl shared a similar style with other plates with disk-shaped bottom and flared mouths.
