Can you provide closer pictures? With Longquan celadon the glaze is very important. These pictures make it impossible to decide if it is a fake or original glaze. Also, the bottom is faked very convincing too, nowadays. Thus it should be inspected. The discoloration can be from firing, but you need to inspect the item and see if it could be repaired. Some are repaired, but the covering glaze discolors later, although more likely to a yellow tint.

Thank you Peter.  This is great information the brownish is burned from firing... This is a picture sent to me for sale.  I decided not to buy.
