Dish with celadon glaze and characters
This dish is impressed with a 壽 (shou ‘longevity’) character in the centre. It is covered with a pale-grey celadon glaze. It carries a 文(wen ‘literature’) ink mark on the base. Wen can also be a surname so it could be a makers’ or owners’ mark. The very pale body of this dish is quite unlike a Longquan celadon. It may have been made at another kiln in South China.
