China

On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 205

Noted for its imaginative designs and innovative techniques, Jizhou ware was produced at kilns in Jiangxi Province in southern China. Here, paper-cut plum blossoms were placed on an initial layer of black glaze and covered with brown glaze. The paper cuts were destroyed during the firing, leaving the design of plum blossoms on the inside of the bowl.
