Double incised bands encircle the upper body beneath the rim, adding subtle refinement to the design. The interior is simply finished, emphasizing the quality of the glaze and the graceful proportions. The base retains Christie’s auction labels, providing documented auction provenance.
COLLECTOR’S NOTE
Vietnamese Ly Dynasty celadon wares are highly regarded for their refined forms, restrained decoration, and luminous glazes. Lotus petal motifs were a favored decorative element inspired by Buddhist symbolism, making these bowls desirable examples of early Vietnamese ceramic production. Auction provenance from Christie’s adds further collector interest.
