Stoneware bowl with flaring sides, resting on a small straight ring foot. The interior is decorated with stamped and incised fine radiating lines across the cavetto, surrounding a central medallion composed of a stylised lotus rosette. 
 
This period encompasses the height of the Lý (1009–1225) and Trần (1225–1400) dynasties in Đại Việt, an era of considerable cultural, religious and artistic prosperity, marked by the flourishing of Buddhism, in which the lotus occupied a central place in both spiritual and decorative imagery.
 
Produced in the kilns of the Red River Delta, this piece reflects the technological and artistic exchanges between Vietnam and China during the Song and Yuan dynasties. Vietnamese potters adopted and adapted celadon techniques to develop a distinctive visual vocabulary, characterised by warmer olive-green tones and locally specific stoneware bodies.
 
The vessel is covered with a translucent yellowish celadon glaze with greenish tones, displaying a dense network of fine crackles. The centre of the well bears five circular spur marks arranged in a ring, traces of the stacking technique used during firing and characteristic of medieval Vietnamese ceramic production.
 
ondition: A fine vertical hairline crack is visible at the rim. Surface wear consistent with age and use, together with glaze crackling. Good overall condition considering its age.
