This piece, referred to as a Chinese Guan ware crackle-glazed chrysanthemum petal plate, is a work of exquisite form and captivating glaze artistry. Its design, inspired by the petals of a chrysanthemum, features a series of continuous petal-shaped edges that exude both elegance and refined beauty. A particularly striking feature of this work is the magnificent crackle glaze (hyouretsuyuu), which covers the entire surface and exhibits a variety of expressions depending on the play of light. Crackle glaze is a distinctive technique of ancient Chinese Guan kilns, where fine, deliberate crazing is introduced on the ceramic surface to create a pattern reminiscent of cracked ice. This glazing technique requires exceptional skill and time, resulting in a finished work of remarkable artistic value.

Regarding the condition of the piece, as seen in the photographs, there are no visible scratches or chips on the surface, and the glaze maintains an exceptional luster, indicating outstanding preservation. The underside of the plate is also adorned with the same crackle glaze, while the foot ring is meticulously crafted and balanced with a smooth, rounded finish. The slight amber hue along the rim adds to the charm of the piece, accentuating its aged patina and enhancing its character.

Such a crackle-glazed chrysanthemum petal plate was likely produced in the Guan kilns of the time, intended for imperial use or as a tribute to high-ranking individuals, a testament to its high status and distinguished craftsmanship. It is an excellent work for display, especially as the crackle patterns reveal their full beauty under the light, offering a unique sense of satisfaction to those who possess it. Even in the contemporary market, works featuring crackle glaze remain highly popular, making this an invaluable piece for collectors and enthusiasts alike.
