A Large Barb-rimmed Longquan Celadon Charger with Impressed
Peony Decoration
Ming Dynasty 1368-1644, China Diameter: 33cm
A large stoneware charger with a flattened barbed rim, detailed with a deftly carved bead around the interior edge. The cavetto is deeply scalloped and the bottom has an impressed peony decorative roundel. The entire piece is covered in an ideal sweet blue-green Longquan celadon glaze, which continues over the foot and into the underfoot, absent only in the ring where the piece sat on a cylinder during firing, and where light gray clay body has fired to a reddish buff color.
There is some minor surface scratching and staining.
Provenance:
Private American Collection
