Cultural Revolution Deep Dish Bowl

This is an unusual ceramic bowl from the Cultural Revolution because it is a deep bowl, rather than the more usual cereal bowl. It is 16cm in diameter and 7.5cm high. The design on the outside shows a globe with a Chinese flag and the words, "Mao Tse-Tung Thought Forever" and the words alone on the reverse side are, "The Cultural Revolution Depends on Mao Tse-Tung Thought".

Pair of Cultural Revolution Ceramic Bowls

These bowls are probably the most interesting and tastefully decorated bowls produced from that era. The gold band that wraps completely around the bowl is iridescent, which when combined with drawings of traditional CR themes - factories, farming, energy production and Mao Tse-Tung thought - makes this pair irresistible!
