Chinese Longquan Celadon "Lotus" Charger

Yuan-Early Ming Dynasty (14th–15th Century)

The dish features a broad, foliated rim and a carved central medallion depicting a lotus floral scroll, beneath a thick olive-green glaze typical of Longquan kilns in Zhejiang province. The glaze pools in the carved recesses and shows characteristic crackling from age and scratches possibly from excavation. The unglazed foot ring reveals the reddish-buff body with iron-brown firing marks.
