Bowl with peony
Chinese potters in the north started to experiment with polychrome overglaze decoration during the late twelfth century. While objects with brownish-black ornaments were more commonly found in this period, multicolored wares began to make up a small part of the region’s ceramic production. These objects feature bold and expressive motifs, often in green and red, such as the peony on this bowl.
