AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Important and capacious circular Longquan celadon plate, characterized by a thick glaze of pale olive-green tone, translucent and luminous. The rim is finely decorated with a central motif incised under glaze depicting a large lotus flower (or peony) in full bloom, surrounded by dense sinuous foliage and topped by a bud. The rim, wide and slightly convex, presents a smooth surface that highlights the depth of the glaze. The back shows the typical work of Longquan kilns, with the foot ring left unglazed, which, due to the high iron content in the clay and firing in a reducing atmosphere, took on a characteristic red-orange coloration (oxidation).
Condition Report
• General conditions: Good, considering its age.
• Visible damage: Presence of a radial crack line (crackle) stabilized, starting from the upper edge and extending toward the center for about 8–9 cm (as shown in the detail photos).
• Surface: Minor ferrous inclusions in the form of pin-point pitting original to the firing and minimal signs of wear consistent with the object's age.
The shipping price also includes the cost of secure packing.
