The present dish is a particularly fine example of its type with its
beautiful jade-like glaze and precise fluted cavetto and barbed-rim.
See a related Longquan celadon-glazed barbed rim dish, 14th century,
illustrated by R.Krahl and J.Ayers, Chinese Ceramics in the Topkapi
Saray Museum Istanbul, vol.I, London, 1986, no.167. The numerous
examples of Longquan celadon-glazed dishes in Istanbul and also
those from the Ardebil shrine in Iran, and now in the Archaeological
Museum, Tehran, demonstrates their popularity in the Middle East due
to their glaze, robustness and suitability for communal feasting.
Compare with a related Longquan celadon-glazed barbed-rim ‘peony’
dish, Ming dynasty, which was sold at Sotheby’s New York, 21
September 2021, lot 162.
