China, 1279-1368. Well potted with rounded sides resting on a slightly concave base, one side set with an outward flaring spout above a small loop handle, the interior painted with a central medallion enclosing a lotus blossom surrounded by leaves, encircled by a diapered band below the rim, the exterior with a broad band of flowerheads borne on sinuous leafy vines, the spout with a cloud, the base left partly unglazed to reveal the ware burnt to orange in the firing.
Provenance: From the collection of Felix Tikotin, and thence by descent within the family. Felix Tikotin (1893-1986) was an architect, art collector, and founder of the first Museum of Japanese Art in the Middle East. Born in Glogau, Germany, to a Jewish family, his ancestors had returned with Napoleon from Russia from a town named Tykocin. He grew up in Dresden and after World War I, he traveled to Japan and immediately fell in love with the culture. In April 1927, he opened his own first gallery in Berlin. The entire family survived the holocaust, and in the 1950s Tikotin slowly resumed his activities as a dealer in Japanese art. He became, once again, very successful and prominent, holding exhibitions all over Europe and the United States. When he first visited Israel in 1956, he decided that the major part of his collection belonged in that country. In 1960, the Tikotin Museum of Japanese Art was opened in Haifa.
Condition: Very good condition with some old wear, traces of use and shallow surface scratches, and firing irregularities including kiln grit and some glaze pooling and recess at the rim, the latter smoothened in the manufacturing process.

Bowls of this form are known as yi and appear to have been used as pouring vessels together with yuhuchun vases. Chiumei Ho in ‘Social Life Under the Mongols as Seen in Ceramics’, Transactions of the Oriental Ceramic Society, vol. 59, 1994-95, p. 44, notes that in archaeological contexts they are often found together with such vases and wine cups. This pairing is also depicted in a wall painting from the tomb of Zhang Andabuhua and his wife, which has been dated to 1269 AD and is illustrated in the catalog of the exhibition The World of Khubilai Khan. Chinese Art in the Yuan Dynasty, The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, 2010, p. 83, fig. 115.
These bowls were also used by Mongols in Iran, as exemplified by the bowl painted in the Enthronement Scene, part of the album Jami al-tavarikh (Compendium of Chronicles), which was commissioned between the reigns of Ghazan (r. 1295-1304) and his brother, ?ljeitü (r. 1304-1316), included in the exhibition The Legacy of Genghis Khan, Courtly Art and Culture in Western Asia, (1256-1353), The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, 2002, cat. no. 19, fig. 84. The shape was probably copied from metal prototypes and a very similar silver pouring bowl was found together with a silver yuhuchun ping in a hoard at Hefei, Anhui province, which contained items inscribed with a name written in Phagspa characters as well as a date equivalent to 1333, both now in the Anhui Museum Provincial Museum, published in the exhibition catalog ‘The World of Kublilai Khan, Chinese Art in the Yuan Dynasty’, The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, 2010, p. 83, fig. 115.
