A CHINESE LONGQUAN CELADON BOWL, SONG / YUAN DYNASTY, ZHEJIANG PROVINCE. Flared rim and lightly incised decorative lines surrounding the inner surface below the rim and to the centre. It is coated in a celadon glaze of good colour. The glaze is a little crackled in places. The foot rim is square cut with the recessed base remaining unglazed revealing the pale porcelaneous body.

Overall condition is good; although the glaze has worn around the rim edge, where it is thin, there is no restoration or repair and it has a good ring when tapped.
