Hexalobulated dish with celadon glaze, Longquan kiln, Song style

The dish has a hexalobular outline with gently concave walls and an elegantly undulating rim, resembling in shape the petals of an open lotus flower. Made of porcelain and covered with a pale-green celadon glaze, characteristic of the official Longquan kilns. It has a rich ‘冰裂纹’-type crackle network. The light-grey paste is visible on the upper rim. The translucent glaze makes it possible to see the intentional cracks that formed during cooling.

Size: 3.1 x 13.5 x 12.5 cm
