南宋 龍泉窰青釉貼雙魚紋盤

with gently rounded sides rising from a tapered foot to a broad everted rim, the interior applied with a pair of crisply-molded scaly fish, the exterior incised with petals, covered overall with an attractive sea-green glaze, the neatly cut footring left unglazed revealing a grayish ware partly burnt orange in the firing

There is a hairline crack from the rim to the foot, and the rim is slightly uneven and has been polished. There are some scattered glaze cracks, particularly to one area of the rim. The glaze has expected wear and is somewhat dry to the touch (both evident at the interior). The foot has shallow chips and a triangular sample removed for TL testing. The glaze is slightly bluer in tonality than in the printed catalog.
