Chinese green celadon dish
12 September 2020
Description

The dish is quite big and heavy. It measures 41 cm in diameter and weighs 6 kilo grams. The dish is of a uniform green colour with a central design. The reverse has a large, thick brown circle as visible in the photos. There are no cracks in the item. The glossy white and other patchy areas in the photos are either reflections of windows in my room or are due to non uniform illumination. They do not exist on the dish.

What does this mean?

Dear Salman,

It a little tricky because copy's are very good and your camera seems to have limitations in making crops sharp pictures. Color is good and also wear looks natural. The fact that your other item is a great and authentic piece and this one seems from the same place makes me say the next thing with enough certainty; You have a Chinese Celadon rice bowl made for South east Asian market. Its made around 1350 so Yuan / Ming period. It is called Longquan ware named after the place were it originated from; Zhejiang, China. Nice and very big bowl and sought after on the market. If this came to auction you can expect a price around the estimate I wrote down above.

20 SEP 2020 edit: I have taken photos in outdoor daylight this time. Taken 2 close ups of the central design which I had to over illuminate for greater clarity and detail.
There is also a design on the rim which I never noticed before until you mentioned it. The dish has a uniform dark-ish green glaze. Uploaded 5 photos.

Please let me know if you need more photos .
