An array of beautifully crafted bowls and cups, featuring varying textures, glazes, and decorative patterns from different cultures.

Tea Bowl, 12th-13th century, 2-7/16 x 4-7/16 x 4-7/16 in. (6.2 x 11.3 x 11.3 cm), Chi-chou ware Stoneware with brown glaze to the exterior with papercut decoration reserved in dark brown against a variegated buff ground on the interior, China, 12th-13th century, A dark-brown glaze with buff-colored tortoiseshell markings covers the exterior of this small tea bowl. Reserved on the interior in reddish-brown glaze are three openwork panels of quatrefoil shapes, perhaps representing peony blossoms, set against a richly variegated buff glaze. The golden buff glaze crawled downward from the lip during firing creating a streaked and mottled effect on the interior. Archaelogical evidence shows similar bowls to have been made at the Chi-chou kilns at Yung-ho in central Kiangsi province.

(4.3 x 16.7 x 16.7 cm), Ding-type ware Porcelain with clear glaze, China, 10th century, Among the most elegant shapes associated with early porcelain production are the rare, shallow barb-rimmed bowls developed during the late Tang and Five Dynasties period (9th-10th centuries) at Ding and Ding-type kilns in North China. During the Five Dynasties era (907-960), Ding kiln technology reached a high state of refinement resulting in light, thinly potted, porcelaneous ware of pure, white color. These four-pointed flower-shaped bowls were most likely inspired by Tang (618-906) gold and silver vessels that were used by the aristocracy. The high artistic level and liveliness of Ding ware made it popular with the middle class, high officials, and imperial household alike.gold Sumerian bowl from Ur, southern Iraq, About 2600-2400 BC. comes from the Queen's Grave in the Royal Cemetery at Ur.
