Comments:Published PDF date : Yuan 14th century Room 95 label text:PDF 272Dish with prunus and crescent moonThis dish with five-lobed rim is incised with a prunus spray and crescent moon. Floated on the glaze in the centre are sprig-moulded biscuit fired motifs of a rock with prunus tree and a crescent moon. These designs are coloured with white, brown and black slip. The dish has probably been in a fire or has been over-fired as the glaze is heavily cracled. This design is rare but there is another undamaged example in the British Museum’s collections.Stoneware, porcelain-type, with incised, slip and applied moulded biscuit-fired decoration and crackled celadon glaze Longquan ware龍泉窯Longquan region, Zhejiang province 浙江省, 龍泉地區Yuan dunasty, AD 1300–1368 PDF 272青釉月梅紋盤此盤呈五出花口形，飾梅枝及新月圖案。盤心在釉上飾模印而成的貼花岩石梅枝及月亮紋，露胎素燒，紋飾且以白、褐及黑色瀝粉著色。此盤可能在燒好后又經火，或者在燒窯中過燒，以致釉面出現大量開片。此類紋飾非常罕見，大英博物館即藏有一件品相完美的器物。炻器，属廣義瓷器，劃花，瀝粉，露胎貼花，青釉開片龍泉窯浙江省龍泉地區元代，1300-1368年
