Song Chai Kiln Dark Lotus Pattern Bowl

Chai Kiln was the imperial kiln of Zhou Shizong Chai Rong, the emperor of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms. According to records, the Chai kiln was established in the early years of Xiande in the Later Zhou Dynasty of the Five Dynasties. The porcelain produced by the Chai kiln is "as green as the sky, as clear as a mirror, as thin as paper, as loud as a bell, moist and delicate with fine lines." The exquisite craftsmanship is unparalleled, and it is the best among many kilns at that time.
