With elegant simplicity, this bowl makes a timeless appeal to the senses. There is not an extraneous element or an unnecessary detail about the piece. Even the quick brush stroke with which the potter has decorated the rim seems perfect in its asymmetry. As we delight in the graceful curves of this bowl, we share our pleasure with those who first held it centuries ago.
