Description of works【Vietnamese underglaze blue modeled after Chinese bowls】
Unlike underglaze blue porcelain made in China, Vietnamese versions use cobalt pigment applied over a gray base coated with white slip. On this piece, showing a strong influence of Chinese blue and white porcelain, lotus patterns are drawn on the exterior in a flowing manner and pointed, oblong Lama-style lotus petal patterns appear on the lower part.
