Source Description
This bowl has a landscape with figures in blue and iron oxide. The scene is set along a river with mountains in the distance, likely in the Jiangnan region of southern China, famous for compositions of the Eight Views of the Xiao and Xiang Rivers and of West Lake in Hangzhou. There are two people in the foreground: one person fishes along the riverbank across from a rustic hermit’s lodge sited on stilts over the water’s edge; on the other side of the bowl, a person with a tall staff gazes at the full moon, accompanied by his servant. The foot has a double band in blue, while another blue band encircles the bowl just beneath the rim, which is covered in red iron oxide. The inside of the footring is also circled in blue around the impressed mark.

The flock of geese making its way across the sky and the many bare tree branches suggest the season may be autumn.
