( x cm), Linru ware Porcelaneous stoneware with carved lotus pattern under celadon glaze, China, 10th-13th century, A large group of bowls and dishes of this type are known, most decorated with a single large lotus flower and leaf of similar design. Besides the northern celadon kiln complex at Yaozhou in Shansi province, a number of other northern Song kiln sites have been discovered including Linru in Henan province.
