Sold
A early stone of conical form standing on a low circular foot, with an elegant everted lip (See similar example in “The Complete Collection of Treasures of The Palace Museum - Porcelain of the Song Dynasty” 1, p.139, no. 125).
In the fall, when the leaves turn nostalgically brown, I often invite guests over to my home, serve “macha” powder green tea in this bowl.
