This is a small celadon-glazed dish from a folk kiln (minyō) of the Song Dynasty, characterized by its rustic charm and quiet elegance. The entire piece is covered in a subdued grayish-green celadon glaze, with natural variations in flow and pooling that create a beautiful and organic visual texture. Particularly in the center of the dish, the glaze has pooled more deeply, resulting in nuanced color shifts due to kiln effects, adding depth and interest to the otherwise simple form. The shallow shape and wide mouth reflect the practical, utilitarian design typical of folk kilns during the Song period. The foot is relatively small, and the potter’s wheel marks are still visible on the unglazed base, lending a handmade warmth to the piece. On the underside, traces of white slip run along the surface in soft, flowing patterns, offering a subtle decorative contrast to the glaze. As for condition, the piece is well preserved with no major chips along the rim or body, and there are no significant glaze losses or large crazing lines. A faint hairline crack can be observed at the center of the interior, but it appears superficial and does not compromise the structural integrity of the piece. Despite its folk kiln origins, the stable firing and beautiful glaze quality give this dish a refined presence. It serves as a fine example of the Song Dynasty’s aesthetic, which found beauty in everyday utilitarian objects. Whether appreciated as an antique or used for tea gatherings or plating food, this dish offers a quiet yet compelling presence.
