- Description
-
Shape: Fragment of the base and footring of a celadon dish. Wheel thrown. The base of the dish is 1.8 cm thick. The 1.0 cm-wide footring extends 0.7 cm below the base.
Clay: Fine gray stoneware clay with many extremely small air pockets and fine gray inclusions. The body has burned beige-orange in the unglazed stacking ring on the bottom of the dish.
Glaze: Thick apple-green celadon glaze covers the base and footring. The bubbly, translucent glaze is crackled, especially on the bottom of the dish. An unglazed ring inside the footring surrounds an inner glazed area. This ring was used to support the dish during firing.
Decoration: There are traces of underglazed incised floral decoration. It is not possible to discern the motif.
Marks: None.
