Longquan celadon basins of this form and size are very rare.
No other example of this large size with lobed sides appears to
have been published, however smaller examples exist. A similar
Longquan celadon dish, described as a “sugarcane-sectioned
washer,” 4½ in. (11.4 cm) in diameter, is illustrated by Zhang
(ed.), Zhongguo chutu ciqi quanji - 6 - Shandong (Complete
Collection of Ceramic Art Unearthed in China), vol. 6,
Shandong, Beijing, 2008, p. 179. Another smaller Longquan
celadon dish, 4 7/8 in. (12.4 cm) in diameter, discovered in the
Sinan shipwreck, is illustrated in Special Exhibition of Cultural
Relics Found off Sinan Coast, National Museum of Korea, Seoul,
1977, fig. 132.
