Chinese Ming period longquan celadon ceramic charger. With incised decoration depicting blooming flowers and leaves.
Height: 3 1/4 in x diameter: 14 in. Crazing throughout as shown in the listing image. No major chips to the rim; there is one minute chip to the glazing along the rim. Throughout the exterior and interior, there are original glazing flaws. Wear throughout, particularly along the footrim. The glaze is not covering the underside of the bowl, interior of the footrim; however, it appears to be original; please see the listing image. When inspected under UV light, there is no visible sign of restoration. However, along the underside, there is an area that is fluorescent, most likely from an adhesive residue that was previously attached to the underside.
