They were made in dragon kilns, so called as they followed the undulating contours of the hillsides. Longquan celadons were exported to the Middle East and Southeast Asia in great quantities. This dish has a prancing dragon applied in the centre and the outer walls are scored to evoke lotus petals before covering in a green glaze and firing.Stoneware, porcelain-type, with carved and applied moulded decoration and celadon glazeLongquan ware龍泉窯Longquan region, Zhejiang province 浙江省，龍泉地區Yuan dynasty, about 1280–1320 PDF 248青釉雲龍紋盤元代，龍泉窯製作了大量的此類大盤。大盤于龍窯中燒制，龍窯因形似龍在山坡上爬升而得名。龍泉窯青釉器物大量外銷至中東及東南亞地區。此盤底心飾貼花龍紋，外壁刻花蓮瓣紋，後罩青釉燒成。炻器，属廣義瓷器，刻花，貼花，青釉龍泉窯浙江省龍泉地區元代，1279-1368年
