Tea Bowl with Splashed Decoration

China

On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 205

The tea bowl, which is conical in shape, has rounded, slightly flaring sides. It is covered with a dark brown glaze and further decorated with a loose abstract design of splashes and swirled ivory semi-translucent slip. The small foot ring is wedge-shaped and is unglazed as is the countersunk base. There are no inscriptions or marks on the bowl.
