It is in the shape of a sectioned melon. The body is vertically divided into ten sections and to create an embossed effect, the grooves between each two sections were pressed down slightly. The lid has a loop attached at the top. It is decorated on all sides with black and white inlaid design of butterfly, chrysanthemum and peony with stem and foliage. The spout and handle was broken and restored. The lid seems to be fake. <p>This is a ribbed ewer in the shape of a melon.

The overall state of the vessel&rsquo;s glaze and decorative designs, however, allow it to be categorized a

<p>This bowl has a narrow foot and a ared mouth. is type of bowl was produced in large quantities from the 11th century to the 12th century. Its inner wall has mold-impressed peony sprays. The entire body of the bowl is glazed, including the inside of the foot, but the glaze on its rim of the foot was wiped away, on which refractory spurs were adhered to for ring. Parts of the inner surface show ne crackles, while the inner bottom was stained with greenish-brown iron spots. One part of the rim was damaged and subsequently repaired. Glaze applied to the outer surface has partially owed downwards, resulting in an uneven surface, but the glaze and clay are quite well fused and sintered.<br /> [<em>Korean Collection, University of Michigan Museum of Art</em> (2014) p.93]</p> <br /> The celadon bowl has straight-lined sides. The surface is evenly coated with a dark bluish green glaze. The celadon bowl rests on a rather tall foot, which was hollowed out from the bottom. The designs are present only on the inside

<p>The cup has a mouth that curves slightly inwards; this is a form typical of round cups with saucers produced in large numbers in the 13th and 14th centuries. The cup is decorated only on the outer rim with a fret-patterned band. Repaired damage is visible on several parts on the mouth, as well as cracking that occurred during ring. Glaze has been applied down to the foot, and three quartzite spur marks remain on the outer base. The partially oxidized body displays darker patches on the surface, but it preserves a bright celadon color overall.<br /> [<em>Korean Collection, University of Michigan Museum of Art </em>(2014) p.120]</p> The celadon cup has a mildly inverted rim with curved sides that are bent once, at a sharp angle, near the base. The surface is coated with a greenish blue glaze. The slightly inward-turning mouth facilitates drinking while the sides curve gently toward the base.

The dish belongs to a large group of sgraffiato wares, examples of which have been found from Afghanistan to northwest Iran. They are characterized by an incised design cut into a slip and enhanced with glazes of different colors, frequently yellow and green. In this particular case, and others like it, the concentric scratched lines are clearly determined by compass while the filler patterns are somewhat less controlled. The pigment is not applied to coincide with the engraved line but rather forms an independant web of color over it.<br />

"This bowl on a high flaring foot probably was made in Kashan during the early years of the 13th century. Aside from a few touches of blue at the rim, the decoration consists of an undulating arabesque scroll which has been incised into the wall of the vessel just below the rim. The contours of the leaf forms were further defined by punching small holes in the vessel's walls which were subsequently filled by the transparent glaze. The connection of this group to Kashan is suggested by a bowl now in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in which the interior of the vessel has blue and black underglaze painting in a style well known from other Kashan wares." -PPS
