This stoneware basin is finished in a pale sea-foam green celadon glaze, characteristic of Longquan-style wares. The vessel features a wide, flat everted rim with a slightly raised outer edge, surmounting a deep, straight-sided cylindrical body. The glaze is applied evenly across the interior and exterior surfaces, displaying a waxy lustre. This form, often referred to as a zheyan xi or folded-rim washer, is associated with the Longquan kilns of the Ming Dynasty or later periods.

Condition report:

The basin is in good condition overall, consistent with its age. There are minor surface abrasions and small, dark kiln inclusions visible within the glaze. The unglazed foot shows typical accumulated firing grit and minor shelf wear. No chips, cracks, or restorations are apparent.
