Longquan Celadon Dish with Arabic Inscription, Ming dynasty, 15th century. Diameter: 32.0 cm. Height: 5.5 cm. Inscribed: Mirza Sayyed xx Mohammed xx © 2024 Kaikodo

The sturdily potted wide, shallow dish, with rounded sides and a thickened mouth rim, is molded in the slightly domed center with a camellia on a leafy branch within a barbed double-line border in the form of a five-pointed ogival medallion. Two swiftly carved floral motifs decorate the well on opposite sides with intertwined leafy sprays spread out between, all beneath a thick, translucent green glaze with slight yellowish tinge that covers the exterior walls as well as the low rounded foot and wide base save for a wide unglazed ring that burned red in the firing. Within this ring is an ink inscription written in Arabic which reads Mirza Sayyed xx Mohammed xx.
