Dimensions:Height 5cm (1‑15/16in),Diameter 9.1cm (3‑9/16in)Condition & Provenance:Alright,take a good look at this genuine Yuan‑era Jun‑yao lobed tea bowl.It’s survived all these centuries without any deep penetrating cracks,no heavy restoration work has ever been done on it.You can see all those honest,natural wear marks built up from hundreds of years of handling and storage,no faked patina here at all.The glaze surface has that mellow,well‑loved old‑object glow,you’ll spot tiny natural firing pinholes scattered across the glaze,which are totally original kiln features,not later damage.The foot ring is super authentic,you get that classic raw reddish‑brown clay body exposed where the glaze pulls away,zero modern grinding,no artificial tampering whatsoever.This piece comes from a long‑standing private ancient‑ceramic collection based out of Los Angeles,California.The former owner first purchased this Jun‑yao bowl from a well‑respected Hong Kong antique dealer back in the early 1990s,it stayed safe within this single family estate for decades,never before offered to public auction until right now.Description:This is a charming Yuan‑dynasty Jun‑yao tea bowl shaped into a lovely lobed flower‑petal form,the rim follows the undulating floral contour with crisp raised vertical ribs running down the exterior wall all the way toward the short,sturdy foot.The whole piece is covered in the iconic thick,opaque opalescent sky‑blue Jun glaze,rich spontaneous purple‑red splash streaks drift freely across both interior and exterior surfaces,every splash pattern is totally one‑of‑a‑kind thanks to the unpredictable ancient kiln firing process.The glaze thickens naturally along those raised lobed ribs,and pulls back at both the scalloped rim and the foot base to reveal warm tan‑brown clay underneath.The interior glaze carries soft subtle bubble textures formed during high‑temperature firing.The thick,viscous glaze creates soft rounded edges on every ridge of the lobed body.This flower‑shaped Jun‑yao bowl represents the playful,expanded creative aesthetic of Yuan‑period Jun kiln production,the bold splash‑glaze effect was highly sought‑after by antique ceramic collectors for centuries
