de forme ronde, les côtés arrondis, incisé au centre d'une fleur de lotus épanouie, le marli incisé d'une frise végétale ondoyante, entièrement recouvert d'une belle et épaisse glaçure céladon uniforme

Formerly in the Collections of the Duke of Clermont-Tonnerre, Château d'Ancy-le-Franc, France.

There is overall wear to the glaze, especially to the center and the rim. There are some pinpoint imperfections and minor glaze pulls. The footring has been pierced with a very small aperture. The dish is secured within two (rusty) metal straps forming an X and set with a metal hook for suspension. The actual colour is less gray, more saturated green than the catalogue illustration suggests.
