Provenance: Former private collection of a Song‑porcelain collector based in Pennsylvania, USA. Acquired at Toronto Asian Antique Art Fair in 2017, preserved within one family for more than twenty years. It was only exhibited in private themed shows of southern Song folk‑kiln ceramics and has never been consigned to public auctions.Description：This is a classic Jizhou‑ware tea bowl embodying Song‑dynasty tea culture. It features six‑lobed floral rim and curved body decorated by six vertical raised ribs running downwards toward wide shallow foot. Distinct turning marks are visible on base, typical for Jizhou kiln production. The vessel is fully coated in mellow deep brown glaze embellished with spontaneous dark brown‑black kiln splashes conveying rustic folk charm. Tea‑drinking flourished in Song China; ribbed floral‑rim bowls such as this served both daily tea‑ceremony use and desk‑top ornamentation. Possessing clear period traits and fine condition, it demonstrates accomplished craftsmanship of Jizhou folk kilns, widely admired by Song‑porcelain collectors from Pennsylvania, New York and Hong Kong.
