    • AND search: If you enter more than one search term in the search box, your search will retrieve results that contain all those terms. For example, enter ‘Iraq Iran', to find all object records containing both ‘Iraq' and ‘Iran'.
    • OR search: If you want to search for either one term or another, enter your search terms separated by ‘or'. For example, enter ‘Japan or China' to find all object records containing either Japan or China.

    • Enter your term followed by an asterisk (*). For example, entering ‘Islam*' would return results for all records containing words beginning with ‘Islam', such as ‘Islam', ‘Islamic', and ‘Islamabad'.
  • Searching is always case insensitive
    • For example, searching for ‘India' is the same as searching for ‘india'.

    The Barlow Collection

    This bowl is much coarser in material and craftsmanship than many other qingbai pieces in the collection. This probable reflects a later date rather than a different place of manufacture. A bowl of this type, which can be dated to 1307, was excavated in Nanchang city, the provincial capital, not far from Jingdezhen.

    The bowl is very thickly potted, the conical sides slightly rounded and the rim everted, with a slight angle on the inside. The tapering foot is nearly solid, with a very shallow, uneven footring. The outside is deeply carved with two ranks of simple petals, leaving the uppermost part free, the inside shows quickly carved and combed strokes which might be interpreted as a goose and a plant, but are nearly abstract. The somewhat opaque, blue-tinged glaze leaves the rim, the base and the footring free, the rim has burnt a yellowish-brown, the base and footring a darker, more reddish brown.
