A Quiet Yue Bowl And Plate *
Western Jin Dynasty, 265 - 316 A.D.
Diameter of bowl: 4 inches (10.2 cm)
Diameter of Plate: 6 inches (15.2 cm)
Poetic Name: “Serenity”
A set of stoneware with a “Buddhist like” carved lotus flower and a fish inside a full circle under a green crackle glaze.
Love from the first sight was the true feeling with this perfect set of utensils that has survived for thousands of years. This quiet piece stays very close to my ivory Guang Ying and tea is offered to both of them almost every morning.
I ask myself very often; why am I so drawn to antiquities? Perhaps they have ancient knowledges I need to learn from...
