Bowl with Lotus and Peony

The interior surface this the bowl is decorated with raised lotus scrolls made using a mold, while the exterior features inlaid peony flowers in three places. What sets this bowl apart is the use of different decorative techniques for the designs executed on the interior and exterior surfaces. The upper rim of the bowl is lined with silver to cover the clay that had to be left exposed for the inverted firing.
