Celadon pottery and porcelain have been made in China for more than 1,000 years. The terms "Celadon Pottery" and/or "Celadon Porcelain" refer to any quality earthenware item crafted by the Chinese of simple form decorated with simply incised or carved motifs on the surfaces and a monochromatic glaze of muted green color. We also have some Korean items in the same color hue on view in our showroom.

Pottery Charger with Incised Floral Motif

Another Ming Dynasty pottery charger. The piece is circular shape and features broad walls and slightly flared rim. The interior surfaces are decorated with stylized floral and foliate motifs that were incised on the surface of the wet pottery, then highlighted with the glaze that naturally pooled in the recesses during the firing of the piece. The piece is in very good condition. It appears that some of the glaze is discolored. This could be due to age or an environment in which this piece previously may have been stored. The Charger measures a total 13 inches diameter at the rim.
