A GREEN 'JUN' DISH SONG DYNASTY

of shallow circular form with upturned rim, covered in an unctuous grayish-green glaze, thinning towards the rim and stopping just short of the edge of the foot on the underside

Collection of Dr. Richard and Mrs. Mary Eckhardt, acquired in Japan between 1947-1952 while Dr. Eckhardt was serving as a surgeon in the United States Army and thence by descent.

There is a 1/4 inch (4mm) rim chip which is lightly polished on the exterior. There are three small glaze pulls on the front and several on the underside, two of which are near the footrim. There are some typical long fine craze lines to the glaze.
