Credit LineMuseum purchase for the James Marshall Plumer Memorial CollectionSubject matterA Longquan celadon bowl of the late Southern Song (1127-1279) early Yuan dynasty (1271-1368).

Longquan potters would glaze their wares three or four times to acheive a rich surface quality, in this case, a beautiful craqueleur celadon glaze enhances the elegant shape of the bowl.
Physical DescriptionA conical stoneware bowl on a tall foot ring, the exterior wall fluted, covered in a craqueleur gray-green celadon glaze.
