Title: Craqueled green glaze bowl
Post by: bluebird26 on Dec 09, 2023, 11:20:15
Hello, may I have an opinion on this bowl please?
It looks old, I would like to know at what kind of ceramics it belongs, and the production period.

Thank you,
Fred

Question:  what is that pattern and the colors visible here? Colors on the item of reflections from outside?
Overall the glaze looks a bit too shiny and  too green in these pictures, but this might be due to the light or quality of the photographs. Is the outside more green?
If the outside is more green outside than inside I would say it is a celadon censer, probably Ming dynasty, but if all is the same color as inside it might be from Longquan kiln.

Hi Peter, Thank you for the answer,
The bowl as two differant glaze,
The inside is white, the same color as the dot at the back of the bowl.
The outside one is shinny green and the color on it are the reflections of the surronding, the glaze is a bit tranlucent.

In that case it is unlikely from Longquan kiln, as the celadon of that kiln does not have such green glazes. But, judging by the bottom and the overall age signs it is still likely from the Ming dynasty, made by another kiln.
