YUAN DYNASTY, 13TH-14TH CENTURY

The shape of the dragon and position of the pearl on this dish appear to be very similar to a dish of slightly smaller size (14 in. diam.) in the Sedgewick Collection, included in the Oriental Ceramic Society exhibition, Celadon Wares, 20 October - 20 December 1947, pl. I, no. 40. Other related dishes are illustrated by R. Krahl, Chinese Ceramics in the Topkapi Saray Museum, Istanbul, vol. I, London, 1986, pp. 255-56, nos. 58-62. Another very similar dish from the Gordon Collection was sold at Christie's New York, 24 March 2011, lot 1134.
