China
Warring States Period - 475 BCE to 221 BCE
This striking spiral dish from the Warring States period exemplifies the early experimentation with proto-celadon glazes, a precursor to the more refined celadon ceramics that would emerge later in Chinese history. The dish features a dynamic spiral design, which creates a sense of movement and fluidity, reflecting the artistic innovations of the time.
The surface of the dish is adorned with splashes of green glaze, showcasing the potter's skill in manipulating glaze application and firing techniques. These vibrant splashes contrast beautifully with the dish's underlying clay body, enhancing its visual appeal. The interplay of colors and textures highlights the experimental nature of ceramic production during the Warring States period, as artisans sought to push the boundaries of traditional pottery.
