Description:

This bowl was blown into a mould to give its shape. This technique was used in China from about the Song dynasty (960-1279). The outside is uneven as a result of contact with the mould, but the inside is smooth where the glass was blown into shape.

Glass, mould-blown
Height: 7.4 cm, diameter: 16.2 cm
