China, 11th-12th century. Of bean shape, the concave top subtly sloped and carved through the layer of ivory-white slip to the buff ground with a quatrefoil cartouche enclosing a ribbon-tied bouquet of two lotus flowers and a leaf. The white slip stopping short above the unglazed base, one side with a small circular aperture near the base.

Provenance: From the estate of Phillip Allen (1938-2022), who was a widely respected collector and expert of Chinese ceramics and works of art as well as a director of the Oriental Ceramic Society for many years. He co-authored and edited several exhibition catalogues for the OCS and was best known as the cataloguer of the Sir Victor Sassoon collection of Chinese ivories in the British Museum.
Condition: Good condition with minor wear and firing flaws, including pitting, glaze recesses, firing cracks. Few chips along the rim and the base, minor fritting along the edges, few losses, minute nibbles, few short hairlines. Old restoration to one small section along the rim.
