It is extremely rare to find a 'Longquan' celadon shrine of this size, and the present piece is exceptional for its extensive delicately modelled details, which demonstrate the skill of the Longquan potters in the production of devotional figures for the home market. In the tradition of celadon figures, the face and hands have been left unglazed to allow for the application of pigment or gilding.
Compare a slightly smaller two-tiered shrine illustrated in Julian Thompson, 'Chinese Celadons', Arts of Asia, November-December, 1993, front cover, and sold in our Hong Kong rooms, 5th November 1996, lot 615; and a similar example in the Charles Russell collection illustrated by R. L. Hobson et. al., Chinese Ceramics in Private Collections, London, 1931, p. 187. A larger shrine from the Edward T. Chow collection, engraved with a date equivalent to 1385, is illustrated in Sheila Riddell, Dated Chinese Antiquities, 600-1650, London, 1979, pl. 11, and was sold in these rooms, 16th December 1980, lot 324, and again, 16th June 1998, lot 232.
'Longquan' celadon shrines of this type are generally much smaller, for example see one from the Evelyn Annenberg Hall collection sold at Christie's New York, 29th March 2006; another from the estate of Stanley Hertzman sold at Christie's New York, 20th September 2002, lot 308; and a third from the collection of J. C. Dragon II sold in our Hong Kong rooms, 5th November 1996, lot 615.
