During the early Ming period, the Longquan kilns appear to
have worked closely with the imperial kilns at Jingdezhen,
thus making wares of similar form and decoration, perhaps
under imperial instruction. Other celadon-glazed dishes
of this pronounced form, with underglaze-blue Xuande
marks and of the period, decorated with incised flower
scrolls, in the National Palace Museum, Taipei, included in
the Museum’s exhibition Green-Longquan Celadon of the
Ming Dynasty, Taipei, 2009, cat. no. 162. A pair, from the
collection of Carl Kempe, illustrated in Kinesiska Keramiska
