Lot Essay

With its elegant foliate-rim and an even sea-green glaze, the current dish is likely to have been inspired by Longquan chargers of the early Ming period, such as the one in the collection of the National Palace Museum, illustrated in Green-Longquan Celadon of the Ming Dynasty, Taipei, 2009, pp. 75-77, nos. 31. It is interesting to note that a similar foliate-rim is also found on other wares of the early Ming period, see for example, a white-glazed charger in the Mr. and Mrs. John D. Rockefeller 3rd Collection of Asian Art at the Asia Society, New York, collection number 1979.157; and a blue and white cupstand in the Museum of Far Eastern Antiquities, Stockholm, accession number OM-1964-0127.
