The bowl is in excellent condition with no evidence of restoration and only minute chipping to the footrim. Typical firing imperfections include minor areas of miscarving under the glaze, misformation of the footrim and small 'iron spots,' the largest (ca. 3 mm) to the underside, as visible in lot photographs.

If a condition report is provided to assist you with assessing the condition of the lot, it is for guidance purposes only. Such condition report may not refer to all faults, restoration, alterations, or adaptations because Sotheby's is not a professional conservator or restorer but rather a condition report is a statement of subjective, qualified opinion genuinely held by Sotheby's. For these reasons, any such condition report is not an alternative to taking your own professional advice regarding the condition of the lot. Prospective buyers should also refer to the Guide for Buyers at Auction which includes important notices concerning the type of property in this sale.

说明：本盌造型秀雅，刻花流暢嫻熟，堪為定窰佳器，亦體現北宋一代清雅含蓄的審美意趣。蓮花出淤泥而不染，宋代文人士大夫尤為推崇，寓意清正高潔，並寄託儒家對君子德行的追求。
