The lychee, because of its red color, is an ancient symbol of love in Korea. It is a rare and valued motif on Korean celadons. The chrysanthemum fertility symbol that also adorns this bowl is more common. But the rendering here is unique, with chrysanthemums in the center of the bowl surrounded by lotus blossoms, a symbol of rebirth because the lotus rises above the muck of the pond to show its face to the Sun. Lovely floral scrolls encircle both the inner and outer circumference. A rare, beautiful, and meaningful bowl. The old pine storage box in the third photo here is included. Width: 8 inches, 20.5 cm. Height: 3.5 inches, cm.
