Longquan celadon-glazed zhadou vessels attributed to the
Song dynasty are rare. The present example is remarkable for
its exceptionally large size.

Compare a smaller example in the Zhejiang Provincial Museum,
illustrated in Longquan Celadon of China, Hangzhou, 1998, pl.70;
another discovered among a group of Song ceramics excavated at
Lueyang, Shaanxi province, is illustrated in Wenwu, 1976, no.11,
pl.6, fig.5; and a third is included in Chinese Ceramics in the Idemitsu
Collection, Tokyo, 1987, pl.474. See also another zhadou of similar
propertions but smaller size, illustrated by R.Krahl, Yuegutang, A
Collection of Chinese Ceramics in Berlin, Berlin, 2000, no.226.
Fragments of these smaller zhadou recovered from kilnsites at Dayao,
Longquan county, Zhejiang Province, are illustrated in Longquan qingci
yanjiu, Beijing, 1989, pl.6, fig.5. The latter examples appear to have
much greener and slightly inferior crackled glazes.
