Description:
Celadon plate, with rounded mouth, curved shallow wall, and wide and flat surface; The feet stretch out, and the foot edge curls up due to the accumulation of the foot covering glaze juice. The fetal wall is thin, and the base and foot are slightly thick. The whole vessel is full of azure glaze color, which is introverted and rich in color; The accumulated glaze is slightly greenish, and the thin glaze is as transparent as pink. The glaze is covered with roe shaped fine grain flakes, and the color is light. There are small pieces of shrunk glaze on the outer edge of the foot circle, and the dew fragrant gray delicate tire. There are five small nail marks at the bottom of the utensil, which are arranged in a pentagon. The bottom is engraved with the imperial poem of Emperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty “Chanting the Official Kiln Plate”. The content of the poem is: “Although it is not a relic of cultivating the foot nails, it has become the most important thing today. Things are so rare, and playing is the only way to lose one’s will. There has been a record of dropping out of farming for a long time, and the ancient brick system is still under repair. The ancient bricks of the Northern Qin Dynasty are like this, but who can think of them?”.
