Korean Goryeo celadon stoneware bowl of shallow rounded form, the interior finely incised with a central lotus blossom and scrolling lotus foliage beneath a soft olive-brown celadon glaze. The exterior is plain and covered in the same translucent glaze, displaying fine natural craquelure and subtle firing variations. Raised on a neatly trimmed circular foot exposing the buff stoneware body. The restrained decoration, elegant profile, and muted glaze are characteristic of Goryeo celadon of the late 12th to 13th century.

Condition: Minor rim wear, small chips to the foot ring, firing imperfections, and natural glaze craquelure consistent with age.
Provenance: Property from an important private collection, assembled by a dealer and collector over more than six decades.
