This exquisiteSouthern Song Dynasty (1127–1279) Jizhou ‘Plum Blossom’ bowlis a superb example of the refined ceramic artistry from the famed Jizhou kilns in Jiangxi province. The bowl features a classic conical form with gently flaring sides, covered in a lustrous dark brown glaze. The interior is decorated with the iconic ‘plum blossom’ resist decoration, where cut-paper or wax-resist techniques created scattered floral motifs revealing the contrasting pale clay beneath. The central medallion is also adorned with a single plum blossom, enhancing the visual rhythm and balance.
The plum blossom symbolises resilience and purity in Chinese culture, flourishing even in winter’s harshness. This decoration was not only aesthetically pleasing but carried profound cultural significance during the Song period, where scholar-officials appreciated such subtle, symbolic designs.
This Jizhou bowl is highly prized by collectors of Chinese Song ceramics, especially for its association with Southern Song tea culture and its connection to the elegant tea appreciation rituals of the period.
