Dish with crackled celadon glaze
官(guan ‘official’) stonewares such as this dish are characterised by a thin, dark clay body and a luscious celadon glaze with tiny bubbles and a distinctive crackle. This example has a lovely double crackle and a typical foot ring. Yuan examples have a flatter rim than Song examples. The shape is thicker too.

青釉開片盤
薄深色胎,青釉釉質瑩潤且富含氣泡,器身裝飾開片,這是以此盤為代表的官窯器物的特徵。此盤飾“金絲鐵線”雙重開片,典型官窯圈足。元代官窯盤的口沿較宋代更加外撇,造型也更為厚重。
