A LONGQUAN CELADON HEXAFOIL DISH

Southern Song Dynasty (A.D. 1127-1279)

of rare form, with wide flat everted rim of mallow-flower shape divided into six matching petal-lobes projecting from the recessed circular center, covered inside and out with a lightly crackled sea-green glaze of even tone with matte surface, pooling slightly thicker below the lip, the ring foot unglazed at the edge, showing the pale buff-colored ware and with a thin line at the margins of the glaze burnt reddish-brown in the firing.

Diameter 6 12 inches (16.5 cm)

A similar Longquan celadon dish in the Meiyintang Collection is illustrated by Krahl, Chinese Ceramics from the Meiyintang Collection, Volume Three (II), London, 2006, no. 1570, p. 581.

Compare also the celadon-glazed dish of this form with densely crackled glaze in the Asian Art Museum of San Francisco, illustrated by He Li in Chinese Ceramics: The New Standard Guide, London, 1996, no. 267, p. 158.
