Pale Drip Glaze Bowl

A pale grey glaze pools, gathers, and drips down along the rim of this ceramic bowl excavated from a sunken Chinese trading ship off the Philippines. Decorated only by the fantastic crazed texture of the glaze, the bowl's monochromatic look draws attention to its clean silhouette, slightly warped from centuries submerged in saltwater. Featuring an unglazed footed base and speckled with imperfections, this bowl exemplifies the timeless appeal of Chinese pottery.
