Period:Ming dynasty Production date:1643 (circa)
Materials:porcelain
Technique:celadon-glazed
Dimensions:Diameter: 35.20 centimetres Height: 7 centimetres
Description:
Porcelain dish with pale green crackled glaze. This dish has rounded sides and a gritty foot ring and is covered with a matte pale green crackled glaze. There are many chips to the rim and the unglazed base has fired brick red. The matte appearance of the glaze in this piece and in BM 1985.1119.10 is a result of erosion by salt water, during the time (more than three hundred years) that it spent at the bottom of the China Sea.

Comments:Harrison-Hall 2001:The dish was recovered from the Hatcher shipwreck and consequently may be dated to c. 1643 (see BM 1984.0303.11a-b).Imitation Longquan celadons were made at a number of sites, including Guangdong in Xin’an village, Huidong county. A number of such celadon vessels with lotus-petal decoration around the exterior walls, dating to the Ming period, have been excavated at Penny’s Bay in Hong Kong. At least thirty-two clusters of kilns had been found by 1990 in Guangdong province, dating to the Ming Period and producing celadons. These Guangdong wares differ from the Longquan originals which they imitate by having a white body rather than the red or grey of Zhejiang. They were made in single-chambered kilns, whereas Zhejiang celadons were most often made in large climbing kilns. Imitation Longquan wares were also made at Fujian province in the ‘Swatow ware’-producing kilns in Zhangzhou.
