A Longquan Celadon Cup Stand Yuan Dynasty

the ovoid body rising up to a waisted neck and an everted rim, the neck bordered with a reticulation of a circle alternating with quatrefoils, all above further reticulations of petal lappets and lemniscates across the body, the base further centred with a circular reticulation, covered overall save for the recessed base with a celadon-green glaze

The reticulated stand is generally in good condition. There are some expected light scratches, predominantly on the rim as well as typical imperfections in the glaze including occasional iron spots or minor glaze gaps. The actual colour is consistent if not slightly brighter and more vivid compared to the catalogue illustration.
