A LONGQUAN CELADON CARVED AND MOULDED 'DRAGON' DISH
YUAN DYNASTY (1279-1368)
The dish is heavily potted with gently rounded sides rising from a tapered foot to a flat everted rim, and sprig-moulded on the centre of the interior with a writhing scaly dragon in pursuit of a flaming pearl, encircled by a band of freely carved foliage scroll around the cavetto. The exterior is carved and moulded with petal lappets radiating from the foot. The dish is covered overall with an olive-green glaze with the exception of the foot.
14 1/4 in. (36.3 cm.) diam., Japanese wood box
