This type of Longquan ware with fish appliqués at the centre of the dish most commonly features paired fish designs, while examples with four fish are exceptionally rare. Compare a late Yuan to early Ming dynasty dish with four fish in the collection of the Palace Museum, Beijing, illustrated in Longquan of the World: Longquan Celadon and Globalization, Beijing, 2019, cat. no. 116; another illustrated in Julian Thompson, 'Chinese Celadons', Arts of Asia, November-December 1993, p. 65, fig. 4 right, sold in these rooms, 5th November 1996, lot 604; and a third example included in the exhibition Chinese Celadons and Other Related Wares in Southeast Asia, Southeast Asian Ceramics Society, Singapore, 1979, cat. no. 123, pl. 98. Compare also a damaged dish formerly in the Ehime Museum of Art collection, also decorated with four fish, which was later sold at Christie's New York, 23rd September 2022, lot 903.
